## Etymology

* Jessica was first used in this form by Shakespeare in his play *The Merchant of Venice* (1596), where it belongs to the daughter of Shylock. Shakespeare probably based it on the biblical name *Iscah*, which would have been spelled *Jescha* in his time. It was not commonly used as a given name until the middle of the 20th century.
	+ Iscah is from the Hebrew name *יִסְכָּה (Yiskah)* meaning "to behold". In the Old Testament this is the name of Abraham's niece, mentioned only briefly.
* Marie is a variant of Maria which is the Latin form of the New Testament Greek names *Μαριάμ (Mariam)* and *Μαρία (Maria)* — the spellings are interchangeable — which were from Hebrew *מִרְיָם (Miryam)*, a name borne by the sister of Moses in the Old Testament. The meaning is not known for certain, but there are several theories including "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", and "wished for child". However, it was most likely originally an Egyptian name, perhaps derived in part from *mry* "beloved" or *mr* "love".
* Morenos is a variant of Moreno which is from a nickname meaning "dark" in Spanish and Portuguese.
