“Pure American spunk bottled into a name”
Moxie originated as a brand name for a bitter New England soft drink introduced in 1876, marketed for its supposed medicinal properties. The word evolved into American slang meaning courage, spunk, and determination. As a given name, it embodies the spirit of boldness and unconventional thinking that many modern parents want to instill.
Moxie gained attention as a baby name after Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller named his daughter Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette in 2005. It fits perfectly into the word-name trend that includes Brave, Rebel, and Justice.
In American vernacular, having moxie means having guts or resourcefulness. Naming a daughter Moxie is a declaration of the parent's hopes for a fearless, spirited child.
