Question
Hello, honorable Rabbi.
I would like to ask about the name Yasmin:
is it good and positive? Is it Hebrew?
Is it advisable to add another name?
Thank you.
Answer
Shalom and blessings.
The name Yasmin is perfectly fine, and there is no objection to giving this name.
Naming boys and girls after plants is something well known in the Jewish naming tradition.
[Yasmin is already mentioned in the words of Rashi (Berachot 43b), where he writes that its origin is in the Arabic language].
Despite the above, our teacher Rabbi Amram Fried shlita recommends more to give the name of a positive figure from the Tanach.
