What is the meaning of the name Jo Jo ?

The baby name Jo Jo is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdʒoʊˌdʒoʊ/ (JOH-JOH).

Jo Jo is in Origin.

Jo Jo is a reduplicated nickname turned given name, formed from Jo - an English short form of multiple “Jo-” names. It most often traces to Hebrew roots: Joseph/Josephine from Yosef, “he will add, increase,” and Joanna/Johanna from Yochanan, “Yahweh is gracious.” In some families it abridges Jonathan (“Yahweh has given”) or stands for George/Jorge, from Greek Georgios, “farmer.”

Used affectionately in English, French, Filipino, and some West African contexts, Jo Jo appears in late 19th-century records as a pet name and gained independent use in the late 20th century, helped by pop culture bearers. The name is strongly unisex. Variants and spellings include Jojo, Jo-Jo, and Jojó (Portuguese). Related diminutives are Jo, Joe, Joey, Josie, and Joie. Because its meaning depends on the source name, parents often read Jo Jo as conveying increase, divine favor, or gift.
