Jessika

Jessika is a feminine name that represents a creative spelling variation of Jessica, which derives from the Hebrew name Yiskah, meaning 'to behold' or 'God beholds.' This alternative spelling gained popularity during the 1980s and 1990s when parents began seeking unique ways to spell traditional names. The 'k' instead of 'c' gives the name a distinctive Scandinavian or Eastern European flair. While not as common as the traditional Jessica, Jessika offers the familiarity of a well-known name with an individualistic touch. The name carries the same warm, friendly associations as Jessica but with a slightly more exotic presentation.

Pronounced JES-i-kuh.

As of October 2026, Jessika ranked #12479 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #600 in 1990.
