Census
Jasmyne in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 3,086 people with the first name Jasmyne, which placed it at #5,525 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Jasmyne
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jasmyne is Black at 47.0%. The next largest groups are White (21.9%) and Hispanic (15.8%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Jasmyne described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Jasmyne at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Jasmyne
The name Jasmyne is a variant spelling of the name Jasmine, which derives from the Persian word 'yasmin' meaning 'gift from God'. The jasmine flower, known for its sweet fragrance, is also the source of this name's origin. The earliest recorded use of the name Jasmine can be traced back to the 16th century in Persia, modern-day Iran.
In the Islamic tradition, the name Jasmine holds significant meaning. It is mentioned in the Quran as one of the fragrances of Paradise. The name gained popularity among Muslims and spread across the Middle East and beyond.
As trade routes expanded, the name traveled to Europe during the Renaissance period. One of the earliest documented uses of the name in Europe was in 1592 when a character named Jasmine appeared in the play "A Christian Turned Turk" by Robert Daborne.
Throughout history, several notable figures have borne the name Jasmyne or its variants. One of the earliest recorded was Jasmyne of Trebizond (1415-1459), a Byzantine princess who married John IV, Emperor of Trebizond.
In the 17th century, Jasmyne Grimaldi (1641-1694) was a prominent member of the House of Grimaldi, the ruling family of Monaco. She served as the Regent of Monaco during the minority of her son, Louis I.
In the literary world, Jasmyne Inchbald (1753-1821) was an English dramatist and novelist known for her play "Lovers' Vows" and her novels "A Simple Story" and "Nature and Art".

FAQ
Jasmyne: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jasmyne?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 3,942 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jasmyne going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 86,949 US residents.
Is Jasmyne a common name?
We classify Jasmyne as "Rare". It ranks above 96% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 4,047 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jasmyne most popular?
The single biggest year for Jasmyne was 2000, when 194 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jasmyne is about 27 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Jasmyne in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 3,086 people with the name Jasmyne, or 1.02 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #5,525 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Jasmyne in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Jasmyne?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Jasmyne appears almost entirely female. Of the 3,087 people counted with this name, 99.8% were female and only a very small share were male. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Jasmyne?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jasmyne is Black at 47.0%. The next largest groups are White (21.9%) and Hispanic (15.8%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Jasmyne most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Jasmyne in the 2020 Census, accounting for 47.0% (1,449 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Jasmyne in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jasmyne a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jasmyne in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Jasmyne still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jasmyne in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Jasmyne can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
