Joe as a feminine name is an uncommon usage of what is traditionally a masculine name. Joe is typically a short form of Joseph (from Hebrew, meaning 'God will add') and has long been one of the most familiar and enduring male names in English-speaking countries. When used for girls, Joe often represents a gender-neutral approach to naming or may be short for feminine names like Josephine or Joanna. The feminine use of Joe embodies a straightforward, no-nonsense quality that some parents find appealing. While relatively rare for girls, it fits within the contemporary trend of adopting traditionally male names for females, appealing to those seeking simplicity and strength in a name regardless of traditional gender associations.

The name Joe peaked for girls at #399 in 1934. Joe is also used for boys, ranking #883 in 2024.

The name Joe is a boy's name of Hebrew, English origin meaning "Jehovah increases".

Joe is still the ultimate good-guy name, not at all diminished by its longevity or popularity or its everyman rep as Regular Joe, Cowboy Joe, G.I. Joe, Joe Exotic, Joe Blow, Joe Millionaire, Average Joe — and now President Joe (Biden). 
 There are millions of Josephs who have gone primarily by the nickname Joe; just a few of the more prominent Joes are Biden, Namath, Torre, Di Maggio, Lieberman, Montana, and Jonas.
 Several celebrities have chosen Joe as a full name for their sons, including Kate Winslet, Kevin Costner, Sting, and Stephen King.
 While Joe and long-form Joseph have always been among the most common male names in the US, there was never a President Joe until Biden.
