Josi is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Josi in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Josi in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Josi by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Josi ranks at #5,757. That means there are 5,756 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Josi.
In fact, the name Josi hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Josi wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1999, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 3,210, 35 parents chose it in 1999 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Josi, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Josi was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Josi a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 5,250, for a total of 20 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Josi seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
Meeting a woman or girl named Josi is something really special. Out of all 50 states, women and girls named Josi can be found in only : . No other state currently has residents named Josi. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Josi living in one state or another (if your name is Josi and you live outside of , we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Josi is in Missouri, as there live more women and girls with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Missouri, only 0.00015% of all female residents are named Josi – that’s just one in 675,912! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 5 women with that name. So, if your name is Josi, chances are you will never meet another woman with your beautiful first name.

If your name is Josi and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
