Jezzi is in Origin.

Jezzi is a modern English diminutive-style given name, typically pronounced JEH-zee. It most often arises as a playful respelling of Jessie/Jessi or Jazzy, and is used as a pet form for Jessica or Jasmine. Through Jessica it connects to the Hebrew Yiskah/Iskah, “to behold” or “foresight,” while via Jasmine it ultimately derives from Persian yasamin, the fragrant jasmine flower. In British nicknaming it can also echo Jez (for Jeremy), lending it a sprightly, contemporary flair.

Documented usage appears from the late 20th century onward, especially in Anglophone countries, fitting the trend for z-inflected, light two-syllable names. Variants include Jezi, Jezzie, Jezzy, and Jezza (nickname), with related forms Jessie, Jessi, and Jazzy. An Italian surname Jezzi exists but is largely unrelated to given-name use. Meaning tracks the root: “foresight/vision” (Jessica line), “God’s gift”/“God is gracious” (Jessie, Scottish), or “jasmine flower” (Jasmine).
