Jozy is in Origin.
Jozy (pronounced JOH-zee) is a modern English given name, most often a playful diminutive of Joseph or Josephine. Through those roots it inherits the Hebrew Yosef, “he will add; increase,” conveying a wish for growth or an additional blessing. The z-sound nods to Central and Eastern European nicknaming patterns (cf. Hungarian Józsi, Slovene Joži), while the -y ending is distinctly Anglophone, giving Jozy a unisex, contemporary feel.
As an independent name, it was scarcely recorded before the 21st century; in the United States it gained visibility via soccer player Jozy Altidore, shaping a mainly masculine profile there while remaining plausible for girls as a brisk alternative to Josie. Variant spellings and near-forms include Josey, Josie, Josi, Josy, Jozie, Jozi, Jozey, and Jozee; related long-forms include Joseph, José, Josef, and Josip, as well as the feminines Josephine, Josefina, and Josiane.
