Jezmina is a rare feminine name best understood as a variant of Jasmina/Yasmina, ultimately from Persian yasamin, “jasmine (flower).” The root traveled into Europe via Arabic yāsamīn and Turkish yasemin, yielding numerous forms across the Balkans and Mediterranean. The initial “Jez-” reflects regional spelling habits and may align with Albanian Xhez- spellings (e.g., Xhezmine) and with usage in some Romani communities, where jasmine-derived names are common.

Usage of Jezmina appears modern and sporadic, mostly from the late 20th century onward, while related forms such as Jasmine and Yasmine became widespread earlier and saw major boosts in the 19th century (French botanical fashion) and again in the 1990s. Variants and cognates include Jasmina, Jazmina, Yasmine, Jasmine, Yasemin (Turkish), Jasminka (South Slavic), and Albanian Xhezmine/Xhezmije. Possible nicknames are Jez, Jezi, Mina, and Jaz. The shared meaning across all forms is “jasmine flower.”
