Giusy is an Italian diminutive-turned-given name, primarily feminine, derived from Giuseppina, the Italian form of Josephine and cognate of Giuseppe (Joseph). Through Latin Iosephus and Greek Iōsēph, it traces back to Hebrew Yosef, from the verb yasaf “to add,” yielding the meaning “God will add” or “He will increase,” echoing the biblical naming of Joseph in Genesis.

Used informally across Italy throughout the 20th century, Giusy began appearing on birth records as an independent name in the late 1900s and remains familiar today, helped by contemporary figures such as Italian pop singer Giusy Ferreri. Common spellings are Giusy and Giusi; related forms include Giuseppina, Giuseppa, and the nicknames Pina and Pinuccia. Cross-language equivalents include Josephine (English/French), Josie, Josefina (Spanish), and Josefine/Josefina (German/Scandinavian). Giusy conveys a brisk, modern sound while retaining the warm, traditional resonance of the Joseph/Josephine family.
