It's an archaic English word for jasmine. Looks like Bosnia & Herzegovina is the only place where a form of Jasmine is still common on boys:

- oddly I can imagine Jasmin(e) on a boy much more easily than Jessamy, it's so very girly. And Gilead is (to me anyway) such an unfamiliar name that seeing the combo, I'd assume its owner was a girl.
