Meaning & Origins
From the vocabulary word (Old French joie, Late Latin gaudia). Being ‘joyful in the Lord’ was a duty that the Puritans took seriously, so the name became popular in the 17th century under their influence. In modern times, it is generally bestowed with reference to the parents' joy in their new-born child, or with the intention of wishing her a happy life.
