Jessica is a name from the Hebrew Yiskah, name of a daughter of Haran, meaning "the Lord beholds" or "the Lord's gift". The Hebrew root sakkah means "to see" so the name Yiskah, with the added yud implies foresight or clairvoyance. There is a midrash by Rashi suggesting that Yiskah is also a name for Sarah so the meaning of this name makes sense for two reasons: people would gaze at her beauty and she was known to be a prophetess. The name Jessica also stands for wealth. Jessica was first used in Shakespeare's The Merchent Of Venice as the name of Shylock's daughter. Jessica was one of the top three baby names throughout the 1980s-90s and was number one in the UK in 2005.

If you haven't already figured it out, my name is Jessica. I'm a 21-year-old who currently resides in Reading, Pennsylvania. I'm involved in a serious relationship so stop reading now if you were looking for cyber booty. I'm a pretty shy and quiet person but I'm usually very friendly. I enjoy the usual things: music, movies, reading and hanging out with friends. I also enjoy art, cartoons (because I'll always be a kid at heart), video games, cooking/baking, graphics, exercise, and psychology. Oh, and I'm currently slightly obsessed with Hannibal Lecter. For more of my interests see the interests section at the bottom. I have two cats: Socks (male) and Sierra (female), who just happen to be the two cats pictured above. I'm an oddball and a nerd, though you probably can't tell all of that just by reading my information here. I find people and their varying views fascinating so I'll add pretty much anyone.
