jasmine flower (Persian via English)
The name Jasmine refers to the fragrant climbing shrub and originated from Persian 'yasamin' before entering English.

Its popularity is also culturally reinforced by the country's national flower, the sampaguita, which is a species of jasmine.
Derived from the Persian botanical word 'yasamin', adopted into Old French and English. It became widely established in the Philippines through American-era English naming trends and global popular culture.
