I also thought it was unusual, but it seems to be the only origin that fits. But Yuzko also appears on the site as a proper name: https://ridni.org/forename/%D0%AE%D0%B7%D1%8C%D0%BA%D0%BE

Yes, but it is very rare (9 bearers). Maybe it is from here, because soemtimes parents will name child diminutive.. hence why Alyona and Olesya became first name. So maybe it just is from Yuzko / Jóźko :|
