Jesska is an uncommon yet captivating female given name of Slavic origin, specifically from Russia. It is derived from the Russian male name Iossif (Joseph), meaning 'God shall increase'. Jesska first gained popularity in the West during the late 20th century, likely due to exposure through various forms of media. Its uniqueness adds a touch of individuality to those who bear it.
"Jesska saw a rise in popularity between 1986 and 1987, with six babies named Jesska born that year, the highest number over this period. However, it appears the name's trend began to decline afterwards, as only five births were recorded each for 1984 and 1988."
