American origin
“From American English slang originating in the late 19th century, Moxie means 'courage,' 'determination,' and 'vigor.' The term became synonymous with personality and confidence, and was popularized as a brand name (Moxie soda, 1884). As a given name, it conveys a spirited, independent character with real backbone.”
