Would you pronounce the ‘s’ in Josiah as an ‘s’ (‘jo-SI-ah’) or a ‘z’ (‘jo-ZI-ah’) sound?

Yes, I would pronounce Joseph with a ‘z’ sound but I’m not so sure for Josiah.

S for me as often shortened to Si.

This reminds me of my family, Who always laugh at me for the way I pronounce Joseph with an S sound not a Z sound. They think I’m wrong but I can’t say it any other way..Confused
