Help[Facts] Josian
This name appears on a list of women's names from medieval England, here:

I'm curious to know the etymology (of course it looks like it's related to Joseph), and how it likely came to be a woman's first name (surname first? feminization of another name? etc). I'm also wondering how it would be pronounced. Any info?

Never heard of it before, but I think it would be pronounced JOE-SY-AN.
