Jessamme is in Origin.

Jessamme is a modern English elaboration of the flower-name family that includes Jessamy and Jessamine, all tracing back to Persian yasamin “jasmine,” via Arabic yāsamīn and Old French jasmin. The core meaning is “jasmine; fragrant flower,” long associated with sweetness and grace.

As a given name in English, the Jessam- set surfaced in the 18th century: Jessamy appeared in literature and society circles (e.g., Oliver Goldsmith’s circle and Eliza Haywood’s fiction), while Jessamine enjoyed poetic and Southern U.S. currency - think Kentucky’s Jessamine County. The 20th century brought Jessamyn (as in author Jessamyn West), helping keep the cluster in use. Jessamme fits this lineage as a contemporary, rarer spelling. Variants and cognates include Jessamy, Jessamie, Jessamine, Jessamin, Jessamyn, Jasmine, Yasmine/Yasmin. Nicknames span Jess, Jessa, and Jessie, with a gentle, vintage-rose image but modern flair.
