Jessé Origin and Meaning

The name Jessé is a boy's name.

Jessé is a masculine name with biblical roots, distinguished by its French spelling and pronunciation. It comes from the Hebrew name Yishai (Jesse in English), meaning 'gift' or 'God exists.' In the Bible, Jesse was the father of King David, placing this name in an important biblical lineage. The accented final 'é' gives the name a distinctive French flair, suggesting sophistication and international appeal. While the English 'Jesse' is more common in English-speaking countries, Jessé offers a cosmopolitan alternative with essentially the same pronunciation. This spelling variation might appeal to parents seeking a name with biblical significance but with a subtle European touch that sets it apart.
