ArchivesRe: the meaning of my name
in reply to a message by jessamy
My name is Jessamy and I am a 36 year old female from the US East Coast. I once read that my name is provencial French for Jasmine, but just today I read that it is Hebrew... I don't think anyone knows. Do the other Jessamys find that people have trouble remembering and pronouncing your name?

When I was 18, I found the name Jasmine in a baby book. The names stemmed from Jasmine were listed below and Jessamy and Jessamine were one of them. I told my husband I would name my first child Jessamy. In 1991 she was born and the name was given. She is 12 now and doesn't care for it. She's tired of people mispronouncing it. They usually say JessuhMAE. We pronounce it Jessuhme. How do you prounce it? Since she was an infant we have called her Jessi but now that she is older, even though she doesn't care for her name she uses her full name. I just did a search for the name and found a book titled Jessamy.
