Jozan is in Origin.

Jozan is a multicultural name with two principal roots. In Japanese, Jōzan (often written without the macron as Jozan) has appeared as a masculine given or art-name; the Edo-period poet and Confucian scholar Ishikawa Jōzan is a noted bearer. Meaning depends on the kanji: 丈山 can be read “lofty/tall mountain,” while alternative pairings allow nuances like “steadfast mountain.” Because macrons are frequently dropped in global contexts, Jozan is now the most common romanized form.

In Hungarian, Józan is a lexical surname derived from the adjective meaning “sober, temperate, prudent.” Though not a traditional given name, it is occasionally adopted as a modern, virtue-style first or middle name, especially in diaspora settings. Variants and related forms include Jōzan/Jozan (Japanese) and Józan/Jozan (Hungarian). Short forms such as Jo or Zan may be used informally; the name remains rare across languages.
