Jessie is English in Origin.
Jessie is a unisex diminutive in English and Scots, most commonly short for Jessica but also for the biblical Jesse; in Scotland it has long served as a pet form of Jean/Janet. As a derivative of Jesse (Hebrew Yišay), it carries senses such as “gift” or “wealth.” Via Jessica, a Shakespearean coinage likely modeled on the Hebrew name Yiskah/Iscah, it inherits the meaning “to behold” or “foresight.” This layering makes Jessie simultaneously bright-eyed observer and cherished gift.
Use of Jessie for girls surged across Britain and North America in the late 19th century, while a parallel male usage persisted as an alternative spelling of Jesse. It remains familiar and friendly rather than formal. Variants include Jessi, Jessy, Jessey, and Jessye; related forms are Jesse (m.), Jessica (f.), and the nickname Jess.
