Jessup
Hebrew origin
“A surname-to-given-name transfer, Jessup likely derives from 'Jesse's' or 'Jess's' as a patronymic (meaning 'descendant of Jesse'). The name carries an Americana, frontier quality and works as a masculine given name with charm and accessible sophistication, fitting the trend of using surnames as first names.”
