Josiah

יֹאשִׁיָהוּ

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Biblical English
• Meaning: God supports

• Josiah was crowned king of Judah at just eight years old, and despite inheriting a kingdom that had strayed far from its spiritual roots, he became one of the most righteous rulers in the Hebrew Bible. His story is one of rediscovery — he famously found a lost scroll of the Torah and led his people back to their covenant. The name means "God supports," and it carries a sense of renewal and purpose that feels incredibly relevant today.

  It has been climbing the charts steadily, beloved for its melodic three-syllable flow and powerful meaning. The nickname Jo or Joss works for casual moments while the full form maintains real distinction. A boy-king who found a lost Torah scroll and changed the course of a nation — that is not just a name, that is a bedtime story waiting to happen.
