ArchivesRe: Jessica and pronunciation.
in reply to a message by Ceara Brede
JESSICA f English
Pronounced: JES-i-ka
This name was first used in this form by Shakespeare in his play 'The Merchant of Venice', where it belongs to the daughter of Shylock. Shakespeare probably based it on the Biblical name Iscah meaning "Yahweh beholds" in Hebrew, a minor character in Genesis.
So the name came from a Biblical name, Iscah. And that's how we know what it means.
