Guiseppina is Italian in Origin.

Guiseppina is an uncommon variant spelling of the Italian name Giuseppina, the feminine form of Giuseppe and counterpart to Josephine. The root goes back to the Hebrew name Yosef, from the verb yasaf, “to add,” yielding the sense “God will add/increase.” Widely used across Italy from the late 1700s through the early 20th century, the name’s popularity reflected deep Catholic devotion to Saint Joseph and spread with Italian migration to the Americas and Australia, where the nonstandard Gui- spelling sometimes appears in records.

Standard and related forms include Giuseppina, Gioseppina, and the southern Giuseppa; affectionate diminutives are Pina, Peppina, Pinuccia, Pinella, and Giusy/Giusi. International equivalents: Josephine, Joséphine, Josefa, Josefina/Józefina. Notable bearers are soprano Giuseppina Strepponi (Verdi’s wife), Saint Giuseppina Bakhita, and Blessed Giuseppina Nicoli, all reinforcing the name’s cultured yet devout image.
