Jessiya

Encourage baby to see just how far their bravery, intelligence, and kindness will take them by naming them Jessiya. A feminine title, Jessiya’s exact origins are a little difficult to visualize, though the name’s first five letters could suggest a link to the English moniker Jessica. While Jessica is said to have made its debut as a first name in William Shakespeare’s five-act comedy The Merchant of Venice, its roots can be traced to the Hebrew feminine title Iscah. Meaning “to behold” or “foresight,” Iscah lends its future-oriented interpretation to names like Jessiya and Jessica. Every time little Jessiya ponders where their journey will lead or the path they’ll have to take to get there, they’ll create new dreams and goals to strive towards.
