What is the meaning of the name Yasemin ?

The baby name Yasemin is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced yah-seh-MEEN.

Yasemin is Persian, Turkish in Origin.

Yasemin is the Turkish form of the plant name jasmine, borrowed from Persian. The Iranian source is New Persian yāsamīn or yāsaman, with an earlier Middle Persian form usually reconstructed as yāsaman; the word names the jasmine shrub and its fragrant white or yellow flowers. In Turkish, the Persian long ā was adapted as a, and the final -īn appears as -in, producing the everyday noun yasemin and the feminine given name Yasemin.

The name belongs chiefly to Turkish naming practice, where floral vocabulary supplied many women’s names in the republican period and after. Related Persian forms include Yasaman and Yasamin, while Yasmin, Yasmine, Jasmin, and Jasmine spread through Arabic, European, and English usage. Yasemin remains culturally associated with Turkey and Turkish-speaking families abroad; in English-speaking countries it is uncommon and often encountered beside the better-known Jasmine.
