History & Origin
Jessice shows up in United States records for only a short span in the late 1970s and 1980s, almost certainly as a variant or recording form of Jessica. Jessica, from the biblical Iscah or Yiskah, is usually read as 'to behold' or 'foresight'; Jessice inherits that meaning.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its late-1980s high and vanishing from records by the early 1990s. A Jessice from that time is in her late thirties now, while standard Jessica was hugely popular.
