The name Jesminder is a girl's name of Hindi, Punjabi origin meaning "queen of flowers; Lord's glory".

A strong and pretty Indian name, notably borne by the central character of hit movie, Bend It Like Beckham, Jesminder has two possible meanings. On one hand, it may be considered a form of Jasvinder, which blends the element yasas with the Hindu god's name, Indra, lending it the meaning "god's glory" or "lord's glory".
 
Alternatively, it is said to mean "queen of flowers", possibly by taking the god's name to mean "ruler, lord", femininizing it, and then pairing it with the floral jaismin.
 
Also spelled as Jasminder, the name could work across different cultures, owing to its similarity to Jasmine or Yasmin and to the possibility of nickname Jess, as used by Jesminder Bahmra in the football-centric movie.
