Jessy is a unisex first name, but it's given significantly more often to boys than girls.
Few children have been named Jessy in recent years. Although it is used several times each year, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 children are currently called Jessy. Whether you’re a boy or a girl, you will most likely be the only person with the special name Jessy at your school. In our SmartGenius ranking, Jessy is number *** on the list of most common first names.
While Jessy isn't one of the most popular names of all time, it does seem to have attracted parents especially in the second half of last century. In 1993 the name Jessy reached its highest popularity with #1,393 in our ranking of all first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their newborn Jessy. One might assume that this was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and kids in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Jessy.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jessy was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 60 babies were born with the name Jessy. This puts the name in rank 4,971 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 5,510,032 newborns was named Jessy that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Jessy has been and remains marvelously unusual!
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter J is a very popular first letter for given names. That’s because 8.3% of all common first names in the US begin with this letter. Only the initial letter A is more common for first names.
With five letters, the name Jessy is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 8.3% of all first names start with a J, this initial letter occurs more than two times as often as all other letters on average.
If your name is Jessy and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
