A name that means "the jasmine flower".

Jasmine comes from the Persian yāsamīn (یاسمین) — the small, intensely fragrant white flower of the jasmine plant, prized across the Persian, Indian, and Arab worlds for centuries. The word entered French as jasmin and English as Jasmine.

Jasmine entered the U.S. top 1000 in 1973 and rose dramatically with Disney's Aladdin (1992), whose princess heroine is named Jasmine. It peaked at #23 in 1993 and currently sits in the U.S. top 200. Yasmin and Yasmine are also covered as separate entries in this library.
