Jazan

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Persian

Meaning: Jasmine

Jazan is one of those Persian names that’d fit well in a piece of poetry. Perhaps its meaning, “jasmine flower,” and its renowned fragrance is what infuses it with so much beauty. Jazan is also known among the people of the Middle East, as the name of a port city and the capital of a region in Saudi Arabia. Noted for their mangoes, figs, papayas, plum, and coffee, it’s a fertile piece of land on an otherwise desert terrain. Perhaps choosing this name is to make a symbolic promise, that you will water and nurture baby’s talents so that they grow and blossom to become their best versions.
