Jessiah

Jessiah is a name of uncertain origin, but it may be a variation of the biblical name 'Jesse', meaning 'gift' or 'God's gift'. The name Jesse is derived from the Hebrew word 'Ishai', which is related to the Hebrew root word 'yasah', meaning 'to exist' or 'to be'.

In the Old Testament, Jesse was the father of King David, and he is mentioned in several books, including 1 Samuel and Isaiah. The name Jessiah may have been created as a unique variant of Jesse, possibly influenced by other biblical names ending in '-iah'.

While the precise origin and meaning of Jessiah are not definitively known, the name is often associated with the concepts of being a gift from God, existing or being present, and having a connection to the biblical figure Jesse.

Jessiah is a relatively uncommon name, but it has been gaining popularity in recent years as parents seek out unique and meaningful names. It has a melodic and appealing sound, making it a distinctive choice for a baby boy.
