History and Origin
Joost is a male Dutch first name. It derives from the name Jodocus, which can ultimately be traced back to St. Judoc, a Breton saint in the seventh century: Jodocus → Josse → Joos → Joost (the addition of an end-t is a peculiarity of the Dutch language, especially some local dialects).
Sometimes an alternative derivation from the Ancient Roman name Justus is suggested. In Dutch proper it is pronounced [ˈjoːst]. In Afrikaans it is pronounced [ˈjust].
Dutch form of the Latin name Justus or of Jodocus, a Latinized form of the Breton name Iodoc (see Joyce).
