This name is not pronounced JO-yah. It's pronounced JOY-ah. It sounds like the English word 'joy' with an A at the end. To confirm this you can go to pretty much any English-Italian online dictionary and listen to the pronunciation. The name comes from the Italian word 'Gioia' which means 'joy/delight'.

Gioia is my name. It's pronounced joy-a. It's an Italian spelling, and all the vowels make it susceptible to butchering. It's really a nice and unique name.
