Jovial means very cheerful, friendly, and full of good humor.
From French “jovial”, from Latin “Iovialis” meaning “of Jupiter” (the Roman king of the gods). People born under the planet Jupiter were once thought to be especially happy and good-natured.
This word literally comes from a god—Jupiter—who was linked with good fortune. So when you call someone jovial, you’re hinting that their happiness feels almost cosmic or lucky. It’s like saying their mood has its own orbit.
