What is the meaning of the name Yasmina ?

The baby name Yasmina is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced yahz-MEE-nah.

Yasmina is Arabic, French, Persian, Spanish in Origin.

Yasmina is a feminine expansion of Yasmin, the Arabic form of Persian yāsaman or yāsamīn, the word for the jasmine plant. The earliest recoverable name form is Persian yāsaman/yāsamīn; Arabic borrowed it as yāsmīn, preserving the long vowel and final -īn. Yasmina adds a final -a, a common feminine ending in Arabic transcription and in Romance-language naming, so the literal sense remains jasmine.

The name is especially familiar in Arabic-speaking North Africa and the Middle East, and the spelling Yasmina also fits French and Spanish orthography. Related forms include Yasmeen, Yasmine, Turkish Yasemin, South Slavic Jasmina, and Spanish Jazmín. In public life it is associated with French writer Yasmina Reza and with Yasmina Khadra, the pen name of Algerian novelist Mohammed Moulessehoul. In the United States it has remained relatively uncommon, with use concentrated in recent decades rather than the early twentieth century.
