Jesamyna is in Origin.

Jesamyna is a modern English elaboration of Jessamyn/Jessamine, themselves older English variants of Jasmine, ultimately from Persian yasamin "jasmine flower," transmitted into English via Arabic and Old French (yasmin/jasmin). The name carries the bloom's associations with sweetness, elegance, and nocturnal fragrance.

While Jessamine enjoyed use in the 18th-19th centuries, Jesamyna appears sporadically in late 20th- and 21st-century records as a creative respelling shaped by the -a feminine ending and the streamlined Jesamyn/Jesmine forms. Literary echoes from writers Jessamyn West and Jesmyn Ward have helped keep the family of spellings visible. Variants and cognates include Jesamyn, Jesamine, Jessamyn, Jessamine, Jesmine, Jasmine, Yasmin, and Jasmina; diminutives Jes, Jessa, Mina, and Jaz are common. Meaning remains "jasmine," evoking purity and affection across many cultures that prize the flower.
