Jehovah helps; God heals
Joziyah is a modern phonetic variant of the biblical name Josiah. It derives from the Hebrew name Yoshiyahu, which combines the elements 'yasha', meaning to help or save, and 'Yah', referring to the Hebrew God. This specific spelling is a contemporary American innovation, likely influenced by the popularity of names ending in -iyah.
