What is the meaning of the name Jósefína ?

The baby name Jósefína is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced yo-seh-FEE-nah (IPA: /jo.seˈfi.na/).

Jósefína is Hebrew in Origin.

Jósefína is the Icelandic West-Nordic feminine form of Jósef, ultimately from Hebrew Yosef “he will add/increase,” via Greek Ioseph and Latin Iosephus. The -ína ending is a productive feminine suffix in Icelandic, and the diacritics mark vowel length and stress in local orthography.

Documented in Icelandic parish records from the late 19th century, Jósefína aligned with the broader European vogue for Josephine/Josefina that followed the fame of Empress Joséphine. While never the most common Icelandic choice, it has maintained steady, modest use and has seen periodic revival alongside other traditional names under Iceland’s naming laws. Related forms include Josephine (English), Joséphine (French), Josefina (Spanish/Portuguese/Scandinavian), Josefine/Josefin (German/Scandinavian), Józefina (Polish), Jozefina (South Slavic), and the regional spelling Jósefina. Common nicknames abroad include Fina and Josie; in Iceland, short forms are less typical, with speakers often favoring the full name.
