Help[Facts] Re: My column on Jessica
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
Here in Brazil, Jessica (spelled with an accent as Jéssica) has been used here since at least the 70s. Shakespeare was familiar to Brazilians long before we started using Jéssica here, but I think it first became used in Brazil as an import from the English-speaking world. Quite a few other Shakespearean names, such as Ofélia, have been used in Brazil much longer.
