Jaswantie is Indian in Origin.

Jaswantie is an Indo-Aryan feminine name deriving from Sanskrit yaśas/yaśa, “fame, glory,” plus the feminine suffix -vatī, yielding “she who possesses renown” or “the glorious one.” Through Prakrit and regional phonology, yaś- often appears as jas- in North Indian languages, linking Jaswantie to the Punjabi/Sikh name element jas (“praise”). In Marathi and some Hindi usage, jaswanti/jaswandi also names the hibiscus, adding a floral, devotional association.

The form Jaswantie reflects Dutch-influenced spelling in Suriname and the Netherlands, where it spread with the Hindustani diaspora from North India in the late 19th–early 20th centuries. Traditional in Punjabi, Hindi, and Marathi communities, the name remains familiar in Suriname, Guyana, and Dutch-Surinamese circles. Variants and related forms include Jaswanti (Hindi/Marathi), Jaswantie/Jaswantee, Yashwanti, and the masculine Jaswant/Yashwant; short forms like Jas and Jassi occur in everyday use. Meaning: “glorious,” “renowned;” secondarily, “hibiscus.”
