Joziah is a modern spelling of Josiah, a Hebrew name usually explained as "Yahweh supports" or "Yahweh heals"; the biblical Josiah became king of Judah at the age of eight and led a religious reform. The z gives the classic a contemporary edge, as in Jazmine. In the United States Joziah entered the top 1000 in 2011, peaked at number 686 in 2016 and ranks number 1015 in 2025.
