It could be a Japanese name, but it would be pronounced "Jo-eh"

thanks ICEyun

i know there's different styles of writing beside kanji and they all different meanings i guess it's how you write that gives it that meaning. i want to learn japanese myself. i'm just curious if joe would have any meanings? i know another name that's popular in japan that's also american name and that's sari.

Meanings

My kanji dictionary has 34 entries. Some meanings are "to exclude," "to narrate," "slowly," and "equal." I don't know if any of these are actually used for names though.

Hope I helped!
