Origin
Meaning and history of Jasminn
The name Jasminn has its origins in the Persian language, derived from the word "yasmin" which means "jasmine flower." The jasmine flower has held significant cultural and symbolic importance in various regions of the Middle East and Asia for centuries.
The earliest recorded use of the name Jasminn can be traced back to the 12th century in Persian literature and poetry. It was often used as a metaphor for beauty, elegance, and purity, reflecting the delicate and fragrant nature of the jasmine blossom.
In the Islamic world, the name Jasminn gained popularity due to its association with the revered Sufi poet Jalal al-Din Rumi, who frequently referenced the jasmine flower in his mystical verses. Rumi's works, written in the 13th century, helped spread the name's popularity across the Persian-speaking regions and beyond.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Jasminn was Jasminn al-Khatun, a 13th-century Persian princess and poet from the Seljuk Empire. Her contributions to Persian literature and poetry are still celebrated today.

FAQ
Jasminn: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jasminn?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 44 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jasminn going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 7,789,871 US residents.
Is Jasminn a common name?
We classify Jasminn as "Very Rare". It ranks above 52.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 46 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jasminn most popular?
The single biggest year for Jasminn was 1990, when 9 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jasminn is about 34 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Jasminn in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jasminn a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jasminn in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Jasminn still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jasminn in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Jasminn can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
