Where in the world
(measured from records)Jozafat counted together with the spellings and other-language forms grouped with it. Where a register counted another spelling, the row names it.
Exact figures are national registers' own counts, while figures marked ≈ and est. are Mondonomo’s estimates, counted from our sources and calibrated against those registers; hover one for how far to trust it in that country. A dash means neither exists.
Registers cited: the pl-dane-pesel register; SRCEI — Nombres más comunes (guaguas, 1920–2021); the mx-cdmx-nombres register. Figures without a register are Mondonomo estimates; see Methodology.
Country figures for a list of names, at full precision, are available under licence rather than by scraping this table (how that works).
Other recorded senses
(measured from records)Jozafat is also recorded in one other lexicon, as a different name or as an ordinary word. These are senses of the spelling, not of the name above.
Polish: from Josaphat , a Greek form (used in the New Testament) of Hebrew Jehoshaphat ‘God has judged’. This was the name in the Bible of a virtuous king of Judah. It owes its popularity as a Polish name to having been borne as a name in religion by a Polish saint (1584–1623), archbishop of Polotsk in Lithuania; his baptismal name was John.
as a word
Ordered by how much of this spelling's record each language holds, so a sense from a language the name is barely used in sits last rather than first.

How to address them
(machine-generated)A formal English salutation is built on the surname, so it needs a full name — on its own, a first name only supports the informal form.

About this data
measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated
These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.
Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.
Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
