Essey is a rare Anglophone given name and surname, typically viewed as a modern spelling of Essie (pronounced EH-see). Through Essie it connects to several roots: Esther/Hester in the Hebrew-Persian tradition, often interpreted as “star”; and Estelle/Estella from Latin stella “star.” Some bearers also link it to French Esmé/Esmée, from Old French esmer “to esteem,” yielding the sense “beloved” or “esteemed.” The result is a compact name with luminous or affectionate meanings.

Nickname-names like Essie flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States and Britain, and Essey appears sporadically in records from that era onward, remaining uncommon today. As a surname, Essey can be toponymic, taken from French communes named Essey (e.g., Essey-lès-Nancy), adding a place-name pathway. Variants and relatives include Essie, Essy, Esse, Esey; Esther, Hester, Estelle, Estella, and Esmé/Esmée. Usage is primarily feminine but can read unisex.
