Shakespearean Names
Jessicas of the world, say hello to your namesake. Jessica was a name created by William Shakespeare for his plays. He was known for inventing very common words we use today such as swag, bandit, critic, dauntless, dwindle, elbow (as a verb), green-eyed (to describe jealousy), lackluster, and even lonely. Imagine how different languages would have been without him!
