Jasmine comes from the Persian yasamin, the climbing flower whose small white stars perfume a summer evening more than any cultivated rose. The name traveled through Arabic and French before settling into English, then surged in the U.S. after Disney's Aladdin put Princess Jasmine on every lunchbox in 1992. It peaked in the top 25 and has eased gracefully to its current rank of 199, aging into a name that feels lived-in rather than trendy. Two syllables, the soft j and the humming min. Jaz and Jazzy are the ready nicknames. Jasmine is fragrant, warm, a little bit 1990s in the best way.
