Jessica in Hebrew

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know what the hebrew version of Jessica is?
Like Shoshana for Susan, Devorah for Deborah etc.
I found that it comes from the hebrew name Yehayagem, but I don't know if it's arcaic or if it's the actual version that they use in modern times.

Thanks in advance!

I think it's Iscah (http://www.behindthename.com/php/view.php?name=iscah).

I had tracked down the Iscah/Iskah/Yiskah root in the past, but I didn't know if it was reliable.
Following your trace, I landed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_%28given_name%29
and it was really interesting, so thank you for the input :)
