Joi is English in Origin.
Joi is a contemporary respelling of Joy, the English virtue name meaning "happiness, delight, rejoicing." Joy descends from Middle English joye/joie, borrowed from Old French joie, ultimately from Latin gaudium "gladness." As with many abstract qualities adopted as names, Joy entered English use under Puritan influence in the 17th century and saw renewed popularity in the 20th century; Joi emerges in American records from the mid-1900s. While most common for girls, it can be used as a unisex option.
Variants and related forms include Joy (standard), Joie (French-influenced), and Joye; elaborations such as Joyelle and Joyanna also occur. Though frequently associated with Joyce, that name has different roots, despite overlapping nicknames. Notable bearers of Joi include actress Joi Lansing and singer Joi Gilliam; the spelling also appears in Japanese contexts as a nickname for Joichi (e.g., Joi Ito), reflecting spelling coincidence rather than shared etymology.
