Joost is a Dutch masculine given name. It derives from the name Jodocus, which can ultimately be traced back to Saint Judoc, a Breton saint of the 7th century: Jodocus → Josse → Joos → Joost. Sometimes the name Justus was used to represent Joost. This may have led to confusion between Justus and Jodocus as the origin of Joost. In Dutch proper it is pronounced, while in Afrikaans it is pronounced.
