Jozey is in Origin.
Jozey is a modern, phonetic twist on Josie, the English pet form of Josephine. Josephine descends from Joseph, from Hebrew Yosef, meaning "he will add/increase," so Jozey carries the same hopeful sense of growth or blessing. The inserted z reflects contemporary style trends in English-speaking countries, and the name has seen modest, sporadic use in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as a stand-alone choice or as a nickname for Josephine (and less often for Joseph). Its sound matches JOH-zee.
Variants and related forms include Josie, Josey, Jozie, Jozee, Jozi, and Josi; longer roots are Josephine, Josefina, and Josette, with masculine counterparts Joseph and Josef. Josie has been in English use since the 19th century, while Jozey remains rare and modern-leaning. Most common for girls, it can read unisex thanks to the Josey Wales precedent.
