Jozafina is a Balkan variant of the wide-ranging Josephine family, ultimately from Hebrew Yosef, "God will add" or "He will increase." It appears in Albanian and broader South Slavic usage as an orthographic offshoot of Jozefina/Josefina. The feminine form spread through Europe via devotion to St. Joseph and, later, the celebrity of France’s Empress Joséphine, which popularized local spellings throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

International counterparts include Josephine (English), Joséphine (French), Josefine (German/Scandinavian), Josefina (Spanish/Swedish), Giuseppina (Italian), Józefina/Józefa (Polish), Jozefina (Serbo-Croatian, Slovene), Josefa (Spanish/Portuguese), Jozefien (Dutch), and Josipa (Croatian). Common short forms are Jo, Josie, Fina, Ina, Pina, Fifi, and, in Iberian contexts, Pepa. Jozafina remains a rare, modern-leaning spelling that keeps the enduring meaning and saintly associations while offering a distinctive, regionally flavored twist.
