God beholds or wealthy
Jesscia is a rare variant of Jessica, a name famously coined by William Shakespeare for a character in his play The Merchant of Venice. It is likely derived from the Hebrew name Iscah, which means 'to behold' or 'foresight'. While Jessica became a dominant name in the late 20th century, this specific spelling remains extremely uncommon.
