Jozska Origin and Meaning

The name Jozska is a girl's name of Eastern European origin.

Jozska is a feminine name with Hungarian origins, functioning as a diminutive form of József (Joseph). In Hungarian naming traditions, diminutives often express endearment or familiarity. While József is masculine, this feminine adaptation illustrates how diminutive forms sometimes cross gender lines in certain cultures. Jozska remains extremely rare outside Hungarian communities, virtually unknown in English-speaking countries. The name carries a distinctive Eastern European character with its consonant combination and ending. Its pronunciation (approximately YOHZH-kah) may present challenges for non-Hungarian speakers. For families with Hungarian heritage, Jozska might serve as a connection to cultural roots, though its rarity makes it a bold choice that would stand out in most Western naming contexts.
