Origin:British
Other Origin(s):Hebrew
Meaning:Beholder, foreseer; Yahweh is gracious
Though variants like Jessie and Jessi may sound familiar, you won't be able to tear your gaze from the feminine name Jesey. As a shortened form of the Shakespeare-created Jessica, Jesey derives from Iscah, a Hebrew title meaning "beholder" or "foreseer." When you look into sweet Jesey's eyes or think about what their future will be like, you'll see only bright colors and sunny skies. Jesey could also be a diminutive of Jane, sharing John's Hebrew translation of "Yahweh is gracious." From their earliest years, your Jesey will learn to look for and be a source of love, warmth, and kindness in the world.
