Yasmin

Very pretty name, much better than Jasmine.

It’s a pretty name. I knew a girl named Yasmeen in middle school. Her ethnicity was Lebanese on her mother’s side but I don’t think this is a name solely for Arabic or other Middle Eastern ethnicities. The spelling Yasmin or Jasmin are nice too.

I think Yasmin is an alluringly pretty name. It has a nice meaning, too. I would pronounce this name like “yaz-men”. Although I completely respect its interesting Arabic origins, I don't think you should have to be Arabic to have/use this name. In-fact, there are many common/popular names in the US that have foreign origins. For example, the adorable “Sophie” is of French origin, yet it made the top 100 names for girls in 2020, as there were over 3,000 American baby girls named Sophie that year. The charming “Santiago”, which is of Spanish and Hebrew origins, is another lovely example, as there were over 4,000 American baby boys named Santiago in 2020.

The point I'm trying to make is that I don't think Yasmin has to be reserved solely for Arabs. As long as someone graced with the elegant name is respectful towards Arabic culture (which is something you should probably try to be regardless of your name), I think it's totally fine.

I also like the name Yasmin because I think it's a good balance of feminine yet not too “frilly”. In other words, I think it would suit a tomboy or girly-girl beautifully, which I think is important in a name
Overall, I think Yasmin is a very pretty name.

It’s kinda strange but I kinda like it at the same time. A nickname could be Yazzy.

Sounds unusual.

Gorgeous! It sounds so heavenly.

I despise this name. It seems like an "inventive" spelling of the much prettier Jasmine.

Sounds so pretty and elegant. To the person who called it an "inventive spelling", yeah no, it's actually the original. Jasmine was derived from Yasmin.

Nope, actually you're wrong. Jasmine is the original and Yasmin is a variant of it.

Much better than the over used Jasmine.

Yasmin is a lovely name, I find it regal yet earthly.

Yasmin is a gorgeous name and does have a Biblical reference as a Gift from God. I’m a Yasmin too (supposed to be pronounced Yassmeen (nickname Yassi) and people the world over always comment on the beautiful nature of this name. There is a Yasmin doing global work to eradicate IS and maybe will skip a couple countries now.

Ugly name!

My name is Yasemin and, although I am half-Turkish and half-English, my name is originally a Persian baby girl's name and apparently means 'gift from god' but I've only read that from one source, so am not entirely sure how accurate this is. My parents chose this name as a compromise, as although it is a popular Turkish name, Yasmin (which is how everyone, apart from Turkish family, refer to me) is also quite anglicized and sounds like Jasmine. That way my parents were compromising based on their cultures when naming me. I personally like my name and am glad my parents chose it, I often get compliments on my name. I prefer to be called Yasmin more so than Yasemin though, maybe it's because I only ever got called Yasemin when getting told off as a child :D.

My name is spelt Yasmin. As I'm Somali my family say Yasmeen as in the Arabic way. In my opinion it's a nice name named after the Persian flower, Jasmine but the problem is I've had people spell it with an e at the end, a z where the s is meant, and a double ee. I pronounce it as Yas-min. Due to living in the UK it's not commonly hard to spell but I guess they probably met someone with one of those spellings.

Personally I love my name although spelled quite differently and elaborately, Yaasmiyn Ashaki. The name is beautiful! And a wonderful gift from my parents. THANK YAH that he gave them a mind to choose it for me! Shalom!

I think it's a beautiful, distinguished and elegant name. I would pronounce it Yaz-meen but spell it this way.

Hi, my sister is called Yasmin and I love the name. It's cute and everybody at school thinks that my sister is cute.

Sounds like the name of a belly dancer. Or a teen mother.

I think the spelling Yasmeen is better.

Yasmin is much prettier than Jasmine.

I want to like this name, but I know a Yasmin who is a stuck-up snob. Thus, it makes me think of a snooty popular girl. It's also the name of one of those icky Bratz dolls.

Beautiful Arabic name, but it's very common. I have at least 5 female relatives with this name. I also know a lot of other people with it.

I LOVE this name! It is gorgeous and classy :)

Why would you spell it with a y?!?!?! It should be Jasmine! Yasmin is a yucky-yuck name and it reminds me of someone who is very boring and has a dumb voice. But sometimes it reminds me of a chav who has massive hoop earrings...

I understand an Arabic person using this name, but just to be kre8tiv is ridiculous. Stick with Jasmine, please.

This name is ugly. It reminds me of yaks or birth control. Ew.

I could never name my daughter Yasmin simply because it immediately makes me think of the contraceptive by the same name.

In London it is not unique. I know more Yasmin's, Jasmine's and the like than I do Jennifer's. Nice name though, not trendy or made up, just popular.

I think this name is different and unique and is a name of a Bratz Doll.

In Danish "min" means "my" so as a Dane I think it sounds very sweet to say min Yasmin. I love this name as I love flowers too.
