Meaning & Origin
A female given name from Arabic.
Yasmina is a girl's baby name of Arabic origin, a variant of Yasmine or Jasmine, from the Arabic yāsamīn for the fragrant white jasmine flower. The name carries the sweet, intoxicating scent of the bloom and is beloved across Arabic, Persian, and North African naming traditions.
About 1,530 U.S. births are recorded. Yasmina has a particularly North African and French-Arab character — it's common in Algeria and Morocco and among Francophone Muslim communities. Its extra syllable gives it a flowing, musical quality.
