Jasmine

Jasmine is an English name derived from the Persian word yasamin, referring to the flowering plant of the same name, which was introduced to Europe through Arabic yasmin. The name entered English use partly through French jasmin and became popular across Europe and the Americas as a floral given name in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is associated with qualities of grace and delicate fragrance in many cultures where the flower holds symbolic significance. Variant forms include Yasmin, Yasmine, and Jasmina.
