Origin
Meaning and history of Yazmani
The name Yazmani has its origins in the Persian language, with roots dating back to the ancient Persian civilization that flourished in the region now known as Iran. The name is derived from the combination of two Persian words, "yazdan" meaning "divine" or "god," and "mani," which refers to a precious stone or gem.
In ancient Persian mythology, gems and precious stones were revered for their beauty and believed to possess mystical powers. The name Yazmani could have been given to individuals who were considered to have a divine or precious quality, akin to a rare gem. Alternatively, it may have been bestowed upon individuals born under auspicious astrological circumstances or during significant celestial events, as the ancient Persians placed great emphasis on astrology and celestial observations.
The earliest recorded use of the name Yazmani can be traced back to the 6th century CE, during the Sassanid Empire, one of the most influential Persian dynasties. It appears in several ancient Persian texts and inscriptions from that era, though its exact origin and meaning have been subject to varying interpretations by scholars over the centuries.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Yazmani. One of the earliest recorded was Yazmani al-Khayyam, a renowned Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet who lived from 1048 to 1131 CE. His works, including the Rubaiyat, a collection of quatrains, have been widely celebrated and translated into numerous languages.
Another prominent figure was Yazmani ibn Sina, also known as Avicenna, a Persian polymath who lived from 980 to 1037 CE. He made significant contributions to various fields, including medicine, philosophy, and science, and his works, such as "The Canon of Medicine," had a profound influence on the development of Western thought and medical practices.
In the realm of literature, Yazmani Firdausi, a celebrated Persian poet who lived from 935 to 1020 CE, is renowned for his epic masterpiece, the Shahnameh, or "Book of Kings," which recounts the mythical and historical heritage of Iran and its rulers.
During the Safavid Dynasty in the 16th and 17th centuries, Yazmani Beg was a prominent military commander and statesman who played a vital role in the expansion and consolidation of the Persian Empire under Shah Abbas I.
More recently, in the 20th century, Yazmani Khalili was an influential Iranian painter and sculptor who helped shape the modern art movement in Iran and whose works reflected the rich cultural heritage and traditions of his homeland.

FAQ
Yazmani: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Yazmani?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 6 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Yazmani 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 57,125,723 US residents.
Is Yazmani a common name?
We classify Yazmani as "Very Rare". It ranks above 22.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 6 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Yazmani most popular?
The single biggest year for Yazmani was 2017, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Yazmani is about 9 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 Yazmani in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Yazmani a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Yazmani in the SSA data are male. 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 Yazmani still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Yazmani 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 Yazmani 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.
