The name Jessica appears to have been invented by William Shakespeare in 1596. He used it as the name of Shylock's daughter in The Merchant of Venice. He presumably wanted it to seem like a typically Jewish name and may have been familiar with the name Iscah, Abraham's niece, which was rendered in Shakespeare's time as Jesca.
