MEANING & HISTORY
What does Joma mean?
Joma is explicitly recorded as a shortening or blend of Jose and Maria, including the masculine compound Jose Maria. The source supplies a concrete full-name relationship rather than a separate two-syllable word.
The Maria component does not make this particular compound tradition exclusively feminine.
