The unique name Iscah is often thought to be the origin of the more modern name Jessica, so it could be a great fit for parents looking for a fresh take on that older favorite, especially if there’s a family connection. In the Old Testament, Iscah is the daughter of Haran and the niece of Abraham, mentioned only briefly. The name is usually said to mean “anointed†or “to behold,†and while some sources say it can be a boy’s name, in its origin it’s feminine. This Hebrew name is lovely and distinctive, and would shine in any situation.
