About Jocasta
Jocasta is a mythological name fashionably used in England, but mostly ignored here. She was the mother of Oedipus, King of Thebes, whom he (oops) unwittingly married. If you can ignore that small error in judgment, you'll find an interesting and attractive J name that's neither overused nor terminally dated.
Jocasta is also a moon of Jupiter, and a Cloud Atlas character, playing in the film by Halle Berry.
Pronounced joh-KAS-tuh.
As of October 2026, Jocasta ranked #10865 in US births in 1979 SSA, peaked at #6367 in 1956.
