What Jazmin Means
Jazmin means the jasmine flower. It names the plant directly, so the sense is its scent and appearance rather than a quality of a person.
Where Jazmin Comes From
Jazmin is an American respelling of Jasmine, from the Persian yasmin, carried into Arabic and from there into Spanish, French and English along with the plant. Because the word moved with the cutting, it arrived nearly unchanged everywhere. Jasmin, elsewhere on this site, is the German and French spelling of the same name. The flower is night-scented, which is why it stands beside the rose and the nightingale in Persian poetry.
