Jasinda is English in Origin.

Jasinda is a modern English given name, most plausibly a creative spelling of Jacinda, which itself comes from the Spanish and Portuguese Jacinta, ultimately from Greek Hyakinthos. The root refers to the hyacinth - both the fragrant spring flower and, in classical texts, a precious stone - so the name carries floral and jewel imagery. The initial “Jas-” may also be colored by the popularity of Jasmine (from Persian yasamin), which helps explain the softened s spelling.

Usage is rare but documented in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, chiefly in the United States; novelist Jasinda Wilder has given it modest visibility. Close variants and cognates include Jacinda, Jacinta, Jacintha, Giacinta (Italian), Hyacinth/Hyacintha, and the modern Jasinta; related choices are Jasmine and Yasmin. Possible short forms are Jasi/Jasie, Jaci, Cinda, and Cindy. Overall meaning: “hyacinth” and by extension “flower; beauty; precious gem.”
