Jessica-Rose

Girl name · 10 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Jessica-Rose: 10 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2016.

A modern hyphenated combination, Jessica-Rose brings together two beloved names with distinct origins. Jessica was coined by William Shakespeare for *The Merchant of Venice*, adapted from the biblical Hebrew Yiskah, meaning “to behold” or “foresight.” Rose derives from the Latin *rosa*, the flower, symbolising beauty and love. Famous bearers of the separate names include actress Jessica Chastain and Scottish actress Rose Leslie, known for *Game of Thrones*. While no specific place shares the full double-barrelled form, the combination reflects a popular Scottish trend for pairing classic names, often honouring family or creating a melodic, balanced choice. This name feels both timeless and distinctly contemporary.
