The name of "Jessie"

My friend sparked an interest in me concerning my name. He spoke of Jacob's name means "deceiver," or something along those lines. Apparently Jacob (as in the father of the twelve sons) deceived people many times before his name was changed to Israel. It got me thinking: if names have so much power, why on earth haven't I looked into the meaning of my own?

Here are some keywords I found after researching online for a time:
God is gracious
Rich
God beholds
One who looks forth

I haven't a clue what the last one could mean. There are too many things associated with the phrase. The others, however, are exciting!

Here are the male meanings:
Wealthy
Jehovah/Yahweh exists
My husband
Gift

Based on the meaning "my husband," I'm assuming the meanings aren't interchangeable. Or, at least, that meaning isn't.

There are several arguments over where "Jessie" originated, and maybe they are all correct in their own way. For example, there is the most obvious, from the name "Jessica." Jessica was first created by Shakespeare. It is thought he created the name from Iscah (in his time it would have been spelled as Jesca). A Jessy, on the other hand, has a less complicated origin as "a maker of hesses for hawks."

Who knew?

Now, what does your name mean? I highly suggest looking into it. It's exciting to learn the history of your name, the word that you know yourself by, and, perhaps, defines you. But the latter comment is a discussion for another time. :]
