Jozie Origin and Meaning
Jozie is a feminine name that functions as a modern, playful variation of Josie, which itself is a diminutive of Josephine or Joselyn. These names ultimately derive from Joseph, a Hebrew name meaning 'God will add' or 'God will increase.' The spelling variation with a 'z' gives Jozie a contemporary edge while maintaining the sweet, approachable quality of the traditional form. This name has gained some popularity in recent decades as parents seek familiar names with unique twists. Jozie carries the warm, friendly associations of Josie but stands out with its distinctive spelling. The name has a cheerful, youthful quality that can transition well from childhood to adulthood. Its short, snappy sound and ending with the popular feminine 'ie' suffix contribute to its appeal.
