Jazmin
Feminine · “jasmine”
Jazmin is overwhelmingly a girls’ name — 44,421 girls against 227 boys since 1880.
Jazmin is the jasmine flower, carried west along trade routes from Persian into Arabic, then into French, Spanish and English, keeping nearly the same shape in every language it passed through. The z is the Spanish hand on it — jazmín — which is part of why the spelling took hold most firmly in California, Texas and Florida. Two syllables, a soft landing, and a word most people already know before they meet the name.

From Yāsamīn to Jazmin
The story of Jazmin
The word began in Persian as yāsamīn, the name of the climbing shrub whose white flowers open at night, and traveled with the plant itself into Arabic, then into medieval Latin, Spanish and French. As a given name it followed the same road: Yasmin and Yasemin in the Persian- and Turkish-speaking world, Jasmine in French and English, Jazmín in Spanish. The English-language name arrived properly in the nineteenth century, in the wave of flower names alongside Rose, Violet and Lily. Jazmin is the spelling where the Spanish z and the English pronunciation meet, which fits its strength in the Southwest and Florida.

- counting every spelling
The SSA counts spellings, not names. Jazmin went to 395 girls in 2025, but Jasmin, 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 — 284 places above the chart.
About 1 girl in 2,406 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 4,069 for Jazmin 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 Marcella test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Jazmin's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Marcella climbed just as high around 1922, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Marcella's path sketches the road Jazmin is walking now.

The trade-off
- The meaning is a common English word, so it needs no explanation and never goes out of date.
- Works in Spanish and English without adjustment — same letters, two natural pronunciations.
- Established short forms already in use: Jaz, Jazzy, Mina.
- Held a steady place on the charts across decades rather than spiking and vanishing.
- Sits in a large international family — Yasmin, Yasemin, Jasmine — so relatives abroad will recognize it.
- Jasmine is the default spelling in most people's heads. Expect to spell Jazmin aloud fairly often, and to see mail addressed to Jasmine, Jasmin and Jazmine.
- Disney's Aladdin, from the early 1990s, gave Jasmine a princess, and the association still surfaces — usually fondly, occasionally as a joke that wears thin in middle school.
- The nickname Jaz or Jazz doubles as the music, which some people enjoy and some find they get asked about repeatedly.
- Its footing is strongest in California, Texas and Florida; elsewhere it reads as familiar but less expected, which is a mild thing either way.
