Siosiua
A boy's name with 19 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Only 19 babies have been named Siosiua in recorded U.S. history. That level of rarity means your child would almost certainly be the only one in their school, their workplace, and most rooms they walk into — a genuinely one-of-a-kind choice.
Siosiua is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Siosiua is a boy's baby name — the Tongan and Samoan form of Joshua, the Hebrew name Yehoshua meaning 'God is salvation.' Joshua was Moses' successor who led the Israelites into the Promised Land.
In Pacific Island communities, Siosiua is the natural way to render the biblical Joshua in Polynesian phonology, which uses different consonant patterns. It carries all of Joshua's biblical weight with a distinctly Pacific warmth.
