Meaning and history of Jessicamarie
The name Jessicamarie is a combination of the names Jessica and Marie, both with distinct origins and histories.
The first part, Jessica, is a modern English variant of the ancient Hebrew name Yishshakah, meaning "rich" or "able to bestow wealth." This name is believed to have its roots in the biblical book of Joshua, where it refers to a character named Yishshak. The name Jessica gained popularity in the 16th century, particularly among Puritans who favored using biblical names.
Marie, on the other hand, is a French form of the Latin name Maria, which is derived from the Hebrew name Miryam. The name Maria holds significant religious significance, as it was the name of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ in Christianity. The name Marie has been widely used across Europe and has numerous variations, such as Mary, Maria, and Miriam.
While there is no specific historical reference to the combined name Jessicamarie, it is likely a modern invention, combining the popularity and appeal of the names Jessica and Marie. This practice of combining names became more common in the 20th century as parents sought unique and creative names for their children.

FAQ
Jessicamarie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jessicamarie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 150 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jessicamarie going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 2,285,029 US residents.
Is Jessicamarie a common name?
We classify Jessicamarie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 70.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 156 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jessicamarie most popular?
The single biggest year for Jessicamarie was 1988, when 11 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jessicamarie is about 35 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Jessicamarie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jessicamarie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jessicamarie in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Jessicamarie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jessicamarie in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Jessicamarie can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
