What is the meaning of the name Koie ?

The baby name Koie is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KOH-ee (English approximation) — /ˈkoʊ.i/,KOY (one-syllable variant) — /kɔɪ/.

Koie is Japanese, Scandinavian in Origin.

Koie is a rare, modern given name with cross‑cultural threads and several plausible roots. In Norwegian, koie denotes a rustic forest hut used by loggers and hikers, a word that has also produced Scandinavian surnames and place‑names. In Japanese contexts, Koie appears as a family name (often interpreted as “carp inlet/bay”), while the base element koi can mean the ornamental carp or “romantic love” depending on the characters. In English‑speaking use, Koie also reads as a respelling of Koi, Koey, or Korie.

Given these sources, meanings range from “little hut; shelter” to symbols of perseverance, luck, and affection associated with the koi fish and the word for love. As a given name it is unisex and very uncommon, surfacing in late 20th–21st‑century records. Related forms and variants include Koi, Koey, Koye, Korie, Kory, and Koy; the -ie ending aligns it with contemporary nickname‑style spellings.
