Agata is right. And I know somebody named like this who comes from a slavic country.

It sounds to me like a cutesy pet form of Jasmine. For instance, adding "inka" (or "ynka") to create a pet form is often done in Slavic languages. I feel that the name Jasmine has just been adapted to the rule.Darja -> Darinka
Karolina --> Karolinka
Justyna --> Justynka
Krystyna --> Krystynka
