Jozane is in Origin.

Jozane is a modern Lusophone feminine name, most common in Brazil, and best understood as a variant of Josiane/Joseane. In Portuguese naming, these forms blend José/Joseph (from Hebrew Yosef, “he will add, increase”) with Ana/Anne (from Hebrew Channah, “grace, favor”). Spelling with z reflects Portuguese phonology, where s between vowels is pronounced like z; Jozane makes that sound explicit. French Josiane, popular in the mid‑20th century, likely reinforced the pattern and helped spread related forms across Portuguese-speaking communities.

Use is concentrated in late-20th- and early-21st-century Brazil, where creative Jo‑ names flourished; outside Lusophone contexts it remains rare. Close variants include Josane, Josiane, Joseane, Joziane, Josyane, and Joseana. Diminutives such as Jô and Josi appear in Brazilian Portuguese. The composite meaning brings together “increase” and “grace,” often paraphrased as “God will add grace” or “abounding in grace.”
