Jazzmin
Feminine · “the jasmine flower”
The s in Jasmine is said as a z, which English never bothered to write down. Jazzmin writes it — twice, in fact — and the doubling has a second effect: it puts the word jazz on the page. The flower itself came to Europe from Persia, where its name is yasamin, and traveled through Arabic and then French before English got it.

The story of Jazzmin
Jasmine became an English women's name in the nineteenth century, alongside the other flower names, and became very widely used in America in the 1980s and 1990s. Once a name is that common the spellings multiply, and this family produced an unusual number — Jazmin, Jasmin, Jazmine, Jazzmin, Yasmin, Yasmeen. The double z is the boldest of them: it writes the sound accurately, marks the name as a family's own, and puts an entire American musical form into the middle of a Persian flower.
Meaning
the jasmine flower
From the Persian yasamin, the name of the flowering shrub, borrowed into Arabic as yasamin and into French as jasmin. The plant reached European gardens in the sixteenth century and the word came with it. The name is simply the flower, in the same way that Rose and Violet are.

Line the two peaks up, and Janina's path sketches the road Jazzmin is walking now.
