Tasmin
Tasmin Origin and Meaning
Tasmin is a feminine name that serves as a variant of Tamsin, which itself originated as a medieval diminutive of Thomasina, the feminine form of Thomas. With roots in Aramaic meaning "twin," the name carries an ancient heritage while maintaining a contemporary sound. This particular spelling variation gives the name a slightly more exotic feel compared to the traditional Tamsin. Popular in the United Kingdom, particularly in Cornwall where it has historical usage, Tasmin remains relatively uncommon in the United States. The name has a crisp, modern quality despite its historical origins, making it appealing to parents seeking something distinctive yet accessible. Tasmin blends brevity with a melodic quality, offering a name that feels both complete and refreshingly uncommon.
