	Linda Jesse is a name in its own right. It is of Hebrew origin - in the Bible, Jesse was the father of King David. Richard

Member Since: August 2004 Posts: 219 Send Message	Thanks Richard Interesting, am I right in thinking its a Jewish name if so that is a significant find. Linda

	It is Hebrew origin, but that doesn't mean that all Jesse's are Jewish, any more than all David's are Jewish!
