Josye Origin and Meaning

The name Josye is a girl's name.

Josye is a feminine variation of the name Joseph, which has Hebrew origins meaning 'God will add' or 'God will increase.' This uncommon spelling adds a distinctly feminine touch to the traditional name while maintaining its biblical connections. Though relatively rare, Josye offers a unique alternative to more common derivatives like Josie or Josephine. The name combines the historic gravitas of its biblical roots with a modern, stylish flair. While not among the most popular names, Josye appeals to parents seeking a name with religious significance but with a more distinctive presentation. The ending 'ye' gives it a somewhat vintage or medieval feel that sets it apart from other Joseph derivatives.
