I'm learning Japanese and it rather depends on how 'Joo' is pronounced. Though from what you've said, 'Joo' said how you spelt it means literally "Queen". The '-Sama' is added as an honorific, and shows respect at a high, and formal level. It is one step up from the regular '-san' attached to equal our version of 'mr.' or 'miss.' I hope this helps you ^_^

Joo or jou can mean woman. Sama is a honorofic suffix that is close to lady or lord. So in this case, joosama can mean lady or miss. Just imagine something a butler would say to a young girl that he serves.

Should be Joo-sama in translation.
Like in Mr. Mrs. Ms. Dr. Prof. etc.
Sama is the calling term for someone of higher respect/authority.
(name)-kun, (name)-senpai, (name)-san, (name)-chan etc. are all calling terms.
As to Joo, it is probably a name. And names itself can having meanings. As in Sakura for Cherry Blossom.

Joo-sama?
Lord Joo. Or Sir Joo. Something more reverent than Mr. but that's the idea.
