Jessabella
Meaning of Jessabella
Jessabella is a neologistic feminine appellation arising from the deliberate concatenation of two established names within Anglo-American onomastic practice: Jessica—itself popularized by Shakespeare and etymologically traced to the Hebrew Yiskāʾ, connoting “to behold” or “foresight”—and Bella, derived from the Latin bellus via Italian and Spanish, signifying “beautiful.” This composite formation thus conveys both a measured spiritual resonance and an explicit aesthetic valuation, positioning it at the intersection of biblical allusion and classical elegance. U.S. Social Security records for the period 2009–2016 indicate annual occurrences of five to ten newborns, with corresponding national rankings fluctuating modestly between 937 and 963, which attests to its continued yet marginal presence among female given names. Phonetically rendered in English as /ˈdʒɛsəˌbɛlə/, Jessabella exhibits a clear three-syllable structure with primary stress on the final but one syllable, reinforcing its precise articulatory profile in contemporary naming conventions.
