Moxie Name meanings & History

Moxie means having courage, determination, and energy. Meaning "nerve, courage, pep, daring, spirit". A relatively modern American slang term that came around c. 1925-30 after 'Moxie', a brand of soft drink. The term fell into common usage following an aggressive marketing campaign associating the brand name Moxie with the traits that now define the term. It began gaining popularity as a given name after magician Penn Jillette used it for his daughter in 2005. Moxie is predominantly used as a girl's name, although it can also be used as a unisex name.
