Jessalyn Origin and Meaning
The name Jessalyn is a girl's name meaning "to behold beauty".
With a hint of the floral Jessamyn, the familiarity of Jessica, and reminiscent of sweet but strong Jocelyn, this compound name was quietly but consistently used from the 80s until the mid 2010s when it began to fall out of favor. This fall coincided with both Jessica dropping out of the US Top 200, and, interestingly, with Jojo and Jessalynn Siwa's appearance on reality TV show Dance Moms.
