Of Persian origin, Jasmine means "gift from God" or simply refers to the sweetly scented flower, which has been cherished across cultures for centuries. The name entered English through Old French and Arabic, becoming particularly popular in the West after Disney's animated princess Jasmine in *Aladdin*. Notable bearers include American actress and singer Jasmine Guy, and Scottish footballer Jasmine "Jas" Smith. Though no major places share the name directly, the jasmine flower lends its fragrance to gardens worldwide. A common variant is Yasmin, which also has Persian roots, and the name has been consistently chosen in Scotland since the 1990s, peaking in the early 2000s.
