It is often associated with grace, beauty, and serenity, much like the jasmine flower itself. Variations of the name include Yasmin and Jasmin, offering subtle alternatives while maintaining its essence. In the United States, Jasmine has been a favored name for decades, peaking in popularity during the late 1990s and early 2000s when it consistently ranked within the top 30 names for newborn girls.
