Jessalyn
Pronounced JES-ah-lin
girl
Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Jessalyn does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "God beholds; He sees with grace", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Jessalyn.

Jessalyn is seen by God — and God sees every hidden tear and silent prayer. 'Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?' Jessalyn is never unseen by the God who collects tears.
Spiritual meaning
Jessalyn is beheld by the God who sees — tears bottled, wanderings counted, the one who calls upon the LORD who never overlooks the hidden.
