Wealthy or God beholds
Jessel is a rare name with debated origins. It is often considered a diminutive or variant of Jessica, which was coined by Shakespeare and likely derived from the Hebrew name Iscah, meaning 'to behold' or 'wealthy'. In some contexts, it may also be used as a surname-turned-given name.
