History & Origin

Joyceann fuses Joyce, from the old Breton name Josse and popularly tied to joy, with Ann, the English form of Hannah, Hebrew for 'grace.' Writing the pair as one word was a fashionable mid-century way to honor two people or simply to make a fuller name.

It was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year around its peak in the mid nineteen-forties, and it slipped away as single names returned to fashion. A girl named Joyceann then is in her eighties today.

Did you know? Joyceann is a classic double name of the nineteen-forties, when pairing a first name with Ann or Lee or Marie as one word was a warm Southern and Midwestern habit.
