Jessamia is English in Origin.

Jessamia is a modern, melodious feminine name, most likely formed by blending Jess- (as in Jessica or Jessamine) with -mia. Jessica derives from Hebrew Yiskah, often glossed as “to behold” or “God beholds,” while Jessamine/Jessamy is an English form of Jasmine, ultimately from Persian yasmin, meaning “jasmine flower.” Mia arrives via Maria/Miryam and also resonates with the Italian mia, “mine.” Together, Jessamia carries layered senses such as “jasmine flower,” “God beholds,” and “mine/beloved.”

Use has been rare but rising quietly in English-speaking countries since the late 20th century, aligning with contemporary preferences for lyrical, vowel-rich names ending in -ia. Variant spellings include Jessamiah, Jessemia, Jesamia, and Jessamiya; related forms are Jessamine, Jessamy, and Jasmine. Nickname possibilities abound - Jessa, Jess, Jessie, Sam/Sami, and Mia - offering both classic and modern options within one distinctive coinage.
