Based on my section on name origins, 'Jessica' is said to be derived from the Hebrew name 'Yiskah' which means ' foresight,' or 'to see before.' What a pretty idea; to be able to see or understand something before it happens. It provides a whole range of active possibilities for the person who bears it.

Well now? It's said to have been created by the great playwright, Shakespeare and used in his play 'Merchant of Venice'. A name of both aesthetic and historical significance!

Every author has a particular method or process. In my own writing and research, I may interview people over the telephone (or in person) who were present at an event but only spoke about this later after hearing others talk on it first hand.

In much the same way, some of my recent work was written after interviewing people involved with organizations from other countries--sometimes in another language. I certainly don't claim to be an expert on anything, but the process of typing with two thumbs will get it done. I remember reading 'Jessica' in a baby names book.

The origins of 'Jessica' are uncertain, but the most popular theory is that it comes from the Hebrew name 'Yiskah'. This means 'God beholds' or 'one who looks forth'. It's quite curious that this favorite name was coined by Shakespeare in his play 'Merchant of Venice'. With its poetic pedigree and the message it carries about viewing things differently, it has some deep significance.

The name 'Jessica' is thought to be Hebrew in origin, particularly derived from the name 'Yiskah' and it translates to 'God beholds' or 'to foresee'. Shakespeare's play 'Merchant of Venice' popularized it.

I'm fond of exploring name meanings and 'Jessica' is actually derived from the Hebrew name 'Yiskah', meaning 'foresight' or 'God beholds'. The name gained popularity from Shakespeare's play 'Merchant of Venice'. Just think of it as a name that implies one who can perceive or foresee – insightful and visionary.

"You have this beauty that captivates men, don’t you? There were plenty of naked women in this room, but the second you walked in, the men lost control. They wanted a piece of you. They wanted to own you." His fingers trail down my jaw, tilting my chin up. "Not knowing you already belong to me." I swallow hard, my breath caught in my throat. He moves away, settling into a chair with ease. He unbuttons his coat, leans back, spreads his legs apart like a king, which I guess he is... And then, his voice turns lethal. "From now on, Ariella Costa, you are mine to use. Mine to play with. Mine to do with as I please." The words hit me like a heart attack. "Your body belongs to me. Your mind belongs to me.

According to Hangul (hangeul), the letters of my name in Korean are written out. However, while English names use one's surname followed by a given name, the Korean version will have the surnames last followed by a given name. Take me for example. If my name were Peter, it would be written as `피터' in Korean. It is not exactly the same in pronunciation, but close enough to understand.

Hephaestus, the Greek God known for his skills in blacksmithing and craftsmanship, is called 'Vulcan' in Roman mythology. Remembered as the god of fire and metalworking, Vulcan's mythologies often circle around his exquisite work with metal and ever-blazing forges. This Roman deity has crafted many weapons and tools for the gods and is also associated with volcanic or destructive fire. Isn't that quite fiery and fascinating? While Hephaestus was portrayed as a less favorable god due to his physical imperfections in Greek mythology, Vulcan enjoyed a significant status in Roman traditions. They even had a festival called Vulcanalia dedicated to him. So, one could say that the Roman counterpart of Hephaestus, Vulcan, definitely had a hotter reputation!
