Is Yasmin a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Yasmin: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Yasmin, and how old are they?
21,400 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 98% of the 21,827 Americans ever recorded as Yasmin. The median Yasmin alive today is 23 years old; half are between 17 and 31.
The 2020 Census counted 23,817 people named Yasmin (23,730 women and girls, 87 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 19,896 born in the U.S. The Census count is 20% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).

Where Yasmin is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Yasmin is most over-represented in California: since 1949 it was given 1.6 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Yasmin with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 29,335 babies since 1880, Yasmin is the most given (74% of them). In 2025 it was given to 269 of their 395 babies (68%), again the most given.
