HelpRe: Jesiah
in reply to a message by Belphoebe
There are many people in the USA who pronounce Josiah with a schwa sound in the first syllable instead of with the definite "long o" sound of Joe and Joseph. Therefore you will see any vowel put in the first place. The "s" also is sometimes doubled.
Jahsiah, Jasiah, Jassiah, Jaziah, Jesiah, Jesiyah, Jessiah, Jeziah, Jociah, Joesiah, Josiaah, Jossiah, Josyah, Joziah, Jozyah, Jusiah, and Jysiah are all on the complete Social Security list which gives all names given to five or more boys in 2018. Though a few of the rarest of these like Josiaah may be typographical errors on the part of whoever entered the data, most of them are best seen as deliberate respellings of Josiah.
