What is the meaning of the name Joyciah ?

Joyciah is English in Origin.

Joyciah is a modern English coinage likely blending Joyce with the -iah ending seen in Isaiah and Jeremiah. Joyce derives from Old French Joce/Josse, from Breton Judoc “lord,” later associated in English with the word joy, turning a surname into a bright feminine given name. Joyciah thus suggests “joy” with a lightly biblical cadence rather than a strict Hebrew etymology.

Extremely rare in records, it appears in 21st‑century usage, mostly for girls but suitable as unisex. Variants include Joyciah, Joycia, and Joysiah; diminutives Joy, Joi, and Joce/Josie. Related choices are Joyce, Joy, Jocelyn, and the phonetic cousin Josiah. Parents often pick Joyciah for a familiar core plus distinctive flourish, yielding a by-association meaning of joyful or rejoicing.
