Jasmina Origin and Meaning
Jasmina is a feminine name derived from the Persian word 'yasmin,' referring to the jasmine flower known for its sweet fragrance and delicate white blooms. This name variation is particularly popular in the Balkans, especially in Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia, where it's considered a beautiful, traditional choice. Jasmina offers a slightly more elaborate alternative to the more common Jasmine while maintaining the floral association and pleasant sound. The name carries connotations of purity, beauty, and grace, reflecting the qualities of its namesake flower. With its international appeal and recognizable roots, Jasmina works well across cultural boundaries while still offering something slightly distinctive. The three-syllable rhythm creates a melodic flow that feels both elegant and approachable.
