Jessamin is English in Origin.

Jessamin is an English feminine name derived from Jessamine, the archaic English form of jasmine. The word traces to Persian yasamin, through Arabic yasamin and Old French jasmin, denoting the sweet-scented climbing plant. As a given name it carries the meaning "jasmine; fragrant flower," evoking delicacy and warmth. The Jessamin spelling is a modern, streamlined variant that preserves the antique charm of its source.

Floral names rose in Britain and the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries, when Jessamine and its offshoots appeared in parish registers, poetry, and even U.S. toponyms such as Jessamine County, Kentucky. Usage has stayed rare, with modest revival alongside vintage botanicals. Related forms include Jessamine, Jessamyn, Jasmine, Yasmin/Yasmine (Persian/Arabic), Jasmijn (Dutch), and Jasmina (Slavic). Informal shortenings include Jessa, Jess, Mina, and Jaz.
