What is the meaning of the name Jojo ?

The baby name Jojo is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdʒoʊˌdʒoʊ/.

Jojo is in Origin.

Jojo is a playful reduplicated diminutive of Jo, used in English and across cultures. Jo itself abbreviates several biblical given names: Joseph/Josephine (from Hebrew Yosef, “he will add”), Joanna/Joanne/John (from Hebrew Yochanan, “Yahweh is gracious”), and sometimes Jordan (from Hebrew Yarden, “to flow, descend”) or Joel (from Hebrew Yo’el, “Yahweh is God”).

As an affectionate call-name, Jojo appears in 20th‑century English records and is especially common in Filipino naming traditions, where reduplication yields Jojo for Jose, Joseph, Joel, or Jonathan. Spelled JoJo, Jo-Jo, or Jojo, it suits all genders. Related variants include Jo, Joe, Joey, Josie, and, by extension, source forms like Joanne or Joelle. Jojo keeps the lively, approachable feel of a nickname while inheriting its root meanings: “he will add,” “God is gracious,” “Yahweh is God,” or “to flow/descend,” depending on the source.
