Hi, I have a niece whose name is Jessica. She is named after my mother whose Greek name is Thoukissa. A very common name from the island of Symi in the Dodecanese. Another variation of Thoukissa (Doukisa) is also Thikea (Dikea) for which I named my daughter Justine. A more complicated explanation is I took the word DikeaStretched it to Thikio (which means justice) and took it from there. But if you want a real biblical name, according to the Book of Saints (Greek Orthodox) the name Jessica is a variation from the greek name Ieska. Hope this helps
