Jessica said on April 21, 2012
My name is Jessica, which is known to have either been derived from Shakespeare (and, more specifically, his play, “The Merchant of Venice”) or the Bible (in which the name Iscah might be interpreted as the first version of this name). It is Hebrew and was the most popular female name in the year I was born.
My last name is English/Norman and is known to be a surname for watchmen. I have a family crest.
