German

Etymology

16th century, from French jasmin, from Spanish jazmín, from Arabic ياسَمِين‎ (yāsamīn), from Persian یاسمن‎ (yâsaman). The pronunciation is spelling-based and thus only coincidentally very close to the Middle Eastern etyma. Use as a personal name following wider European usage since the 19th century.
