Jasmin
Girl name · 261 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Jasmin: 261 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 16 births in 1993.
The name Jasmin traces its roots to Persian *yasmin*, meaning "jasmine flower," and entered English via Arabic and Old French, symbolising grace and sweetness. One of its most famous bearers was the German author Jasmin Ramadan, while the spelling also recalls Jasmin Guy, the Canadian actress and singer. Unlike place names derived from bearers, the name shares its root with the fragrant jasmine plant itself, which has inspired gardens from Persia to the Scottish highlands. A notably popular variant of Jasmine, this spelling gained particular favour in northern Europe and Scotland from the 1990s onward, often chosen for its fresh, floral sound and international appeal.
