History & Origin

Jozee is a modern, sound-it-out form of Josie, the pet name for Josephine. Josephine is the French-flavored feminine of Joseph, whose Hebrew source Yosef means 'he (God) will add.' Spelling Josie as Jozee is a recent style, part of the same trend that turned Sophie into Sophee and Katie into Katee; the name's real weight still comes from its Josephine parentage.

Jozee appears in United States records only in the last couple of decades, given to about fifteen girls at its best in the early twenty-tens while Josie itself was climbing. A girl named Jozee then is still a young child today, her name a fresh take on a long-loved classic.

Did you know? Behind the breezy Jozee sits an ancient root: Josephine and Joseph both come from Hebrew Yosef, 'he will add,' a name given in hope of more children to come.
