ORIGIN & HISTORY

About the name

Because "Jessie" is used both as an independently Scottish-derived feminine diminutive of Jean and, separately, as a nickname of Jessica, its meaning is inherited from whichever parent name a given bearer's Jessie traces back to; there is no single independent literal meaning for "Jessie" itself.

Documented roots: Scottish (diminutive of Jean); also used in modern usage as a diminutive of Jessica.
