Jocasta is an ancient Greek female given name, derived from the Greek word 'Zokasthai', which means 'to pour forth'. It was popularized by Sophocles' tragedy 'Oedipus Rex', where Jocasta is the wife of King Laius and later, unbeknownst to her, the mother and wife of Oedipus. In Greek mythology, she is known for her intelligence, wisdom, and resilience in the face of adversity. The name has a melodic sound with a strong 'J' consonant followed by a smooth flow of vowels, making it unique yet easy on the ear. It's composed of two syllables, 'Jo-cas-ta', with the stress falling on the first syllable.
"Jocasta is quite rare, with only ten girls named so in total over those two years."
