Jesika Origin and Meaning

The name Jesika is a girl's name.

Jesika is a feminine name that represents an alternative spelling of Jessica, which derives from the Hebrew name Iscah, meaning "to behold" or "wealth." This variant spelling emerged as parents sought to personalize traditional names, giving them a more unique appearance while maintaining familiar pronunciation. Jesika gained some modest usage during the 1980s and 1990s when Jessica was at its peak popularity in many English-speaking countries. The 'k' spelling instead of the double 's' and 'c' gives the name a more streamlined and modern look. While less common than the traditional spelling, Jesika offers a slight twist on a beloved classic, allowing for the familiar nickname Jess while still standing out on paper.
