- The character 卡 used for the 'ca' sound is the same character used in the word for 'credit card' or 'membership card'.
- In the transliteration 杰西卡, the character 杰 (jié) is often chosen because it means 'heroic' or 'outstanding'. This gives the name a positive, unintentional nuance that the original English name lacks.
- The sound 西 in 杰西卡 means 'west', which is a common character in many transliterated Western names.
