What is the meaning of the name Joachima ?

The baby name Joachima is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /dʒoʊəˈkiːmə/ (JOH-ə-KEE-mə).

Joachima is Hebrew in Origin.

Joachima is the feminine counterpart of Joachim, ultimately from Hebrew Yehoyaqim via Greek Ioakeim and Latin Joachim, meaning "Yahweh establishes" or "raised up by God." In Christian tradition Joachim is revered as the father of the Virgin Mary, which carried the name across medieval Europe and into many vernaculars.

Joachima developed as a learned, Latinized feminine form in Catholic contexts and appears sporadically in Central and Western European records, while cognate feminines gained wider footing: Spanish and Portuguese Joaquina, Catalan Joaquima, and Italian Gioacchina. Related masculine forms include Joachim (German/French/English), Joaquim (Portuguese/Catalan), Gioacchino (Italian), and Ioachim/Ioakeim in Eastern churches. Though rare today, Joachima retains a dignified, devout tone and the enduring sense of being "established by God." Possible short forms overlap with its relatives (Jo, Ina, or Quina in Iberian usage), and spelling variants such as Joakima occur occasionally.
