Jessye

Jessye pays tribute to your family's heritage, celebrating the wisdom of those who came before your little one's arrival. A variation of the Hebrew names Jesse and Jessie, Jessye relates to Jesse, the father of King David in the Old Testament and one of the earliest recorded ancestors of Jesus. Jessye appears in Greek as Iessai and Hebrew as Yishay, often thought to mean "root" or "gift." This connection to the Tree of Jesse, a mural that depicts Jesus' 43-generation genealogy beginning with Jesse, will teach baby the importance of laying down family roots. Jessye also appears as a variant of the French Jean and Hebrew Yohanan, meaning "God is gracious" and "graced by Yahweh." Like Jesus, your little Jessye will look to their elders for guidance as they confidently step towards their future.
