What does the name Jovie mean?
Jovie is a recent American girls' name, recorded from 2004 and more common since. No dictionary we checked documents it as a given name; Wiktionary's only entries for jovie are an unrelated slang word. It may be heard as a short, cheerful form related to jovial or to Jove (Jupiter), but no source confirms where parents take it from. We therefore do not give it a meaning.
How sure is this? Not documented. Undocumented; associations with 'jovial' or Jove are unconfirmed.
