Jahseh

Jahseh is a modern name built from Jah, a form referring to God, and seh, the Jamaican Patois word corresponding to “say.” It is commonly explained as “God speaks” or “God says.” Bob Marley’s song So Jah Seh provides a recognizable use of the phrase behind the name.

Rapper XXXTentacion, born Jahseh Onfroy, is a prominent bearer, but the religious wording offers a separate reason a family might choose it. The joined spelling turns a phrase into a compact personal name. Its history is best described as a modern formation with Jamaican linguistic and religious context, rather than as an unchanged biblical Hebrew personal name.
