Names That Mean Jehovah

Joab is the biblical name of an advisor of David, who led many military victories, and is surely much more usable than the burdened Job. A similar option is Joah, a possible replacement for Jonah or Noah.

The origins of Jesiah are uncertain — is it biblical? A Josiah-Jesse mashup? We don't have the answer (sorry!), but we can tell you that Jesiah is a relatively rare alternative to Josiah, with the added benefit of being unisex in use.

A combination of Arabic names commonly used in Turkey.

An extra zesty variation of Uzi, but not one that comes recommended — it’s strongly associated with the submachine gun.

Greek variation of Joseph used in the New Testament. Joses is one of those names that feels at once novel and familiar, perhaps because it also sounds like Moses. An intriguing option.

A unisex Scandinavian name. Joa is more common for boys in Finland but equally split between sexes in Sweden and Denmark.
