Jasmine -
carrying the 80s and 90s into our century

This was a real surprise! Jasmine is a name that has been around for a long time, but only really took off at the end of the 20th century. According to our SmartGenius statistics, it reached its highest rank at #22 in the year 1994, when 11,762 parents chose this name for their newborn daughter. This made Jasmine much more popular than in previous generations, where it was so rare for several years that it was not even recorded in the statistics.
