Found this name in my Bible study. Talked it over with my wife, & decided to name our 2nd son this. He was 2 lbs. 11 ounces at birth. Spent 2 months in nicu. Today he is 21 yrs old and owns his own business. My Bible says the name means "who Jehovah supports." Fits him perfectly.
I read that Joash means "Jehovah fired" or "Jehovah hastened" in Strong's Concordance. Joash seems similar to Josh and Asher, so I could see it being used more.

I LOVE this name! I hope it will make a comeback. It's a fresh twist on the popular name Josh/Joshua. I would name my son this, and honor my brother, who's name is Joshua (he goes by Josh, though).
