Jessica Love: Hello, my name is Jessica Love. Jessica is a name that William Shakespeare invented for the play The Merchant of Venice by combining two words and thereby coining the name Jessica, which is why if you look up the name Jessica, it means daughter of a wealthy merchant. And the last name Love is my mom's last name. And I honor the matrilineal line by going by my mom's last name, and the name Love has French-Anglo roots because my mom's family is from Switzerland and it means a she-wolf. Ruff.
