Spellings of Jasmin

- Jasmin on the 2025 chart
- #426
- counting every spelling
The SSA counts spellings, not names. Jasmin went to 155 girls in 2025, but Jazmin, Jazmyn and Jasmyn and the rest below are the same name said out loud. Together the 5 spellings went to 668, which makes it the 426th most-given girls’ name of the year — 980 places above the chart.
About 1 girl in 2,406 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 10,369 for Jasmin itself.
Spellings are grouped by a fixed rule that folds interchangeable English spellings of one sound (ck/k, ph/f, x/ks, a non-initial y for i) and keeps vowels apart, so Sean and Shawn stay separate names. It errs towards splitting: a family here is never larger than the truth. SSA national data, 2025. Method

The Jeannette test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Jasmin's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Jeannette climbed just as high around 1916, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Jeannette's path sketches the road Jasmin is walking now.
