The name appears chiefly in U.S. records as a rare double‑first name and has not ranked in the national Top 1000, preserving a distinctive, Southern‑leaning charm. Variants include Jessie Mae (two‑part), Jessi‑Mae, Jesse Mae, Jessamae, and Jessamay; related forms are Jessamine/Jessamy. Possible nicknames: Jess, Jessie, Jessa, and Mae.
