How Do You Say "Jessica" in English?

I'm pretty sure everyone thinks "Jessica" is Chinese. Umm, no!

Some of the kids and staff have been telling me what their name means in Thai and Karen. They asked what "Jessica" means. Then they asked what "Jessica" is in English. They think "Jessica" is Chinese.

I don't know what other hypotheses they've made about me, but I have a feeling that they're wrong. Yikes. They have a hard time realizing that not all Americans are light skinned with light hair!
