Jessy
Jessy Origin and Meaning
Jessy is a masculine name that serves as a diminutive form of Jesse, which derives from the Hebrew name Yishai, meaning "gift" or "God exists." As a variation of Jesse, Jessy carries the same biblical connections to the father of King David in the Old Testament. While Jesse is more commonly used, Jessy offers a more contemporary spelling variation. The name has maintained modest popularity throughout the years, particularly in English-speaking countries, though it's less common as a male name than as a feminine variant (typically spelled Jessie for girls). Jessy has a friendly, approachable quality that contributes to its enduring appeal despite never reaching mainstream popularity for boys.
