Origin
Meaning and history of Yazzmine
The name Yazzmine is a modern variant spelling of the name Jasmine, which has its origins in the Persian language. The name Jasmine is derived from the Persian word "yasmin" or "yasamin," which refers to the fragrant jasmine flower. The jasmine plant is native to parts of Asia and the Middle East.
The earliest recorded use of the name Jasmine dates back to the 16th century, during the Renaissance period in Europe. It is believed that the name Jasmine was introduced to Europe through trade and cultural exchange with regions where the jasmine flower was commonly found, such as Persia (modern-day Iran) and the Ottoman Empire (encompassing parts of the Middle East and Southeastern Europe).
In Islamic literature and culture, the jasmine flower holds significant symbolic meaning, representing purity, modesty, and the fragrance of paradise. The name Jasmine has been associated with these qualities throughout its history.
One of the earliest known individuals with the name Jasmine was Jasmine Khatun, a princess and wife of the Mughal Emperor Humayun, who lived in the 16th century. Another notable figure was Jasmine Tudor, a Tudor-era English woman who served as a royal courtier in the court of King Henry VIII in the early 16th century.
In the 19th century, the name Jasmine gained popularity in Europe and North America, particularly among upper-class families who were inspired by the exotic and romantic connotations of the name. One famous bearer of the name was Jasmine Bligh, a British socialite and the wife of Admiral William Bligh, known for his association with the famous mutiny on the HMS Bounty in 1789.
The variant spelling Yazzmine emerged in more recent times, likely as a creative or personalized variation of the traditional Jasmine. While there are no historical records of this particular spelling being used in the past, it reflects the diverse ways in which names can evolve over time.
Some other notable individuals throughout history who bore the name Jasmine include Jasmine Guy, an American actress and dancer born in 1962, and Jasmine Hartin, a Canadian socialite involved in a high-profile legal case in Belize in 2021.

FAQ
Yazzmine: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Yazzmine?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 18 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Yazzmine 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 19,041,908 US residents.
Is Yazzmine a common name?
We classify Yazzmine as "Very Rare". It ranks above 38.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 18 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Yazzmine most popular?
The single biggest year for Yazzmine was 2004, when 7 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Yazzmine is about 25 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 Yazzmine in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Yazzmine a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Yazzmine 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 Yazzmine still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Yazzmine 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 Yazzmine 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.
