"Jasmine flower"

From Persian

Jasmine is a flower whose fragrance travels farther than its petals can see. The Persian yāsamīn gave English one of its most exotic flower names and one of its most beloved girl names. Disney's Princess Jasmine in Aladdin (1992) made it an instant classic for a generation. The jasmine flower blooms at night, releasing its heaviest perfume in darkness — a name for someone whose beauty intensifies when the world gets quiet.

Persian roots
Jasmine comes from the Persian yāsamīn, the name of the climbing plant whose intensely fragrant white flowers have been prized across Asia for thousands of years. Jasmine tea is one of China's most beloved beverages. The jasmine flower is the national flower of Pakistan, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Disney's Aladdin (1992) introduced Princess Jasmine, who broke the Disney princess mould by being assertive, adventurous, and unwilling to be married off for political convenience. The name rocketed to the US top 30 after the film's release and has remained popular.
