Origin of Jasmine: Persian flower name
Jasmine's Popularity in 2011: #74
Jasmine, a delicate and aromatic flower name, burst into popularity after the 1992 release of Disney's Aladdin, featuring Princess Jasmine -- highly unusual for an animated character. Propagating a garden of spelling variations, Jasmine remained solidly in the Top 50 until this year, when it fell to #51. Jasmine was first used as a flower name in the West around 1900, during the blossoming of floral-name fashion, but it can be traced back to ancient Persia, where scented oil was made from the plant.
Michael Jordan, Martin Lawrence and Nigel Barker all have daughters named Jasmine.
