Around the globe, Жуа (Joie 
, Жуа 
) is a common epicene first name. The first name Жуа is characteristic of Philippines, where it is quite a rare epicene name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and United Arab Emirates, where it is quite a rare largely female, but uncommonly male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Philippines, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the United States. Very seldom, Жуа is the last name as well as the forename.
