What does Jessie mean?
2 syllablesOrigin: Hebrew

Jessie has two well-established roots: it began in Scotland as a diminutive of Jean and Janet, forms of Jane, which trace back to the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning "God is gracious." It's also widely used today as a short form of Jessica.

Warm and unpretentious, Jessie has a friendly, down-to-earth sound that suits a companion with an easygoing, affectionate nature. It works equally well as a name for a scrappy little dog or a laid-back lap cat.
