Close but no divided baby. Jesse (not Jess, which is a nickname thereof) means "gift" or "one who is". And he was David's father and thereby Solomon's GRANDFATHER.
"Jess" is a word in its own right, tho. It means one of those leather straps that a falconer uses to hold the hunting bird's feet in place on his wrist.
