Right pronunciation of Josiah

Looking to name my second son Josiah but we’re confused about the right pronunciation. Some pronounced it as “Josiah (with the s) or Joziah (with z)”. How do you pronounce it and which do you like more? Also do think Zaiah is an appropriate nickname for Josiah?

My older son is Josiah and I call him Jojo. And I pronounce it with Z

I'd pronounce it with z

i would pronounce it with a z sound. and Ziah definitely works as a nickname! 💙

Jo Zi Ah

I pronounce it with an S, i didnt even realize that others pronounce it with a Z.😅 It's funny bc I was just thinking of this name for my baby boy due Oct. 😆

I pronounce with the s sound

Definitely with an S. I didn’t realise there was another pronunciation to be honest!

Z, same as Isaiah

@Brianna me too but my husband pronounce it with Z
