Jessa Name Details

Jessa is a variant of the name Jessica, which originated from the Hebrew name Yiskah. Yiskah is derived from the Hebrew word 'yiska', meaning 'to behold' or 'to look'. In the Bible, Yiskah was the niece of Abraham and the wife of his nephew, Lot. Over time, the name evolved into Jessica and has been popularized by William Shakespeare in his play 'The Merchant of Venice'. Jessa is a modern and feminine form of Jessica, holding the same meaning of 'God beholds'. It is a graceful and charming choice for a baby girl.
