• Josie is the playful, pint-sized version of Josephine, which traces its roots all the way back to the Torah's Joseph, the legendary dream interpreter whose story of betrayal and redemption is one of scripture's greatest narratives. The name means "he will add," a quiet blessing of abundance. As a nickname turned standalone name, Josie keeps all of that meaningful heritage while trading formality for pure, infectious energy.

  Supermodel and clean-beauty entrepreneur Josie Maran—whose father is of Russian Jewish descent—turned her name into a household brand at Sephora, proving a Josie can be both glamorous and down to earth. Riding high on the vintage nickname trend, this name shows no signs of slowing down. It has an infectious spark that lights up a room while carrying real substance underneath. Spunky, sweet, and secretly connected to one of the Torah's greatest comeback stories — Josie is pure joy in a name.
