Jasmine is an English name derived from the Persian yasamin, the name of the fragrant flowering plant of the genus Jasminum. The flower has been treasured across Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Mediterranean cultures for centuries as a symbol of love, grace, and spiritual beauty. The name gained widespread recognition in the West through the Disney film Aladdin, in which Princess Jasmine is portrayed as strong, independent, and free-spirited.
