ArchivesName that means son of Jesse
Hi, so I was wondering what name would mean "Son of Jesse", I've looked it up a couple times and found nothing(except articles about Jesse or King David), well really the closest thing i have found is "Ben Yishai" which wiki list as "Son of Jesse" in Hebrew, which doesn't really help me. So if their is a name meaning this please let me know, thank you.

There are native speakers here, but "Ben Yishai" is probably as close as you can get to the meaning that you seek. Anglicized, it might be "Benjesse/BenJesse/Ben-Jesse," but no one is obligated to Anglicize it in a specific way. "Benjissay," perhaps?
To my knowledge, there is no traditional Anglophonic name with that meaning. If there were, it would be something like "Jesson" or similar. Mac-, Mc-, Fitz- and Bar- are all prefixes meaning "son of..." in their prospective languages, too.
"Jessius" might work as a Latinized version.
