How to Say “Joey” in Italian

By •
Joey
Joey is a male given name in Italian.

Did you know?

  • The name Joey might be confused by an older Italian speaker with Gioia, which is a female name meaning 'joy'.
  • The letter 'y' is not native to the Italian alphabet, making Joey stand out visually as a distinctly non-Italian name.
  • Unlike many English nicknames that become standard names, 'Joey' is not a standard diminutive in Italy. Using it for an Italian person named 'Giulio' or 'Giovanni' would be seen as an English way of speaking.
