Jesse (given Name)
Jesse is a given name, usually masculine, of English and Dutch origin. The given name was originally derived from the Hebrew name Yishai (), which either means "God's gift", "God exist", or "King". The English name was translated into many languages (especially Romance languages and Greek). It has been a popular given name in many English-speaking countries since the 1880s. Despite being similar in appearance, it is unrelated in origin to the given name Jessica.
