Jasmine (given name)

Jasmine is a special name that some parents choose to give their little girls when they are born. Just like how every person has a special name that they are known by, little girls can be called Jasmine.

Do you know what a flower is? Jasmine is a beautiful flower that smells really nice. People think it is very pretty and sometimes use it to make perfume and lotions.

When parents choose to name their little girl Jasmine, they might think of the flower and want their daughter to be pretty and smell nice just like the flower. Or they might just think it is a nice name that sounds pretty.

Once a little girl is named Jasmine, she gets to have that name forever and will be called Jasmine by her family and friends.
