What is the meaning of the name Jessy ?

The baby name Jessy is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdʒɛsi/ (JESS-ee).

Jessy is Hebrew in Origin.

Jessy is a modern, unisex form used either as a standalone name or as a diminutive. It draws on two lineages: from Jesse, the English form of Hebrew Yishai, typically interpreted as gift or abundance and borne by the father of King David; and from Jessica, Shakespeare’s coinage probably modeled on the biblical Iscah (Hebrew Yiskah), whose root means to behold or see. Through these paths, Jessy can evoke ideas of a cherished gift and clear-sightedness.

Usage spans the Anglophone world since the 18th–19th centuries, with masculine association via Jesse and feminine via Jessie/Jessica; in Scotland, Jessie historically shortened Janet or Jean. Jessy also appears as a male given name in some French and Dutch records. Common variants and related forms include Jesse, Jessie, Jessica, Jessey, Jessi, Jessa, and the nickname Jess; cognates include Hebrew Yishai and Latin Iesse.
