Jessy

As a gender-neutral name, Jessy traces back to Hebrew, where it is understood to mean "Possibly Hebrew God beholds". It peaked back in the 1990s and has been gradually easing since. In the current registry, it is a real rarity. It has quietly persisted through most of the last century of American birth records.
