Yasmine is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
Yasmine is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,248 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,247 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Yasmine.
Yasmine is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Yasmine - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 364 in 1997. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Yasmine really in tune with her generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Yasmine was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
147 babies were named Yasmine in 2022 - that's 1 in 1,008,380 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Yasmine ranked 1,347 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
You may not know anyone named Yasmine, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 37 states are home to women and girls named Yasmine. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Yasmine living in one state or another. If your name is Yasmine and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Florida, which has the most people named Yasmine relative to the population, you still have to ask 5,730 women and girls their names before you hear Yasmine as an answer just once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter Y is pretty rare as an initial letter for girls' names: only 1.8% of all common girls' names in the US begin with Y. By the way, the most common first letters of girls' names are A, S and M, while Q, X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.
With seven letters, the name Yasmine has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Since 1.8% of all girls’ names begin with a Y, this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average, but Y is by no means the rarest initial. And of course, there are single names with Y that are very popular, currently the most common girls’ name that starts with Y is Yvonne.
If your name is Yasmine and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
