Joycie
About Joycie
Joycie is a cheerful diminutive form of Joyce, which may appeal to those who like the upbeat yet old-fashioned quality of Josie, Ruthie, Betsy, Joanie, and Nellie.
While Joycie itself has never made the US Top 1000, Joyce was a favorite back in the first half of the 20th century, peaking in 1938 when it reached #11. It started out as a Medieval masculine name meaning "lord", but was later revived as a feminine name, likely due to its similarity to the word rejoice (or its earlier form, joise).
Pronounced JOY-see.
As of October 2026, Joycie ranked #16266 in US births in 2023 SSA, peaked at #1685 in 1933.
