Jozaphine is in Origin.
Jozaphine is a modern respelling of Josephine, the feminine form of Joseph, ultimately from the Hebrew name Yosef, meaning “He will add” or “God increases.” The z reflects Slavic orthography (compare Jozef/Józef) while retaining the French-influenced -phine ending. As with Josephine, it carries an implied blessing of abundance or augmentation.
The base name gained wide European currency through Napoleonic-era France, when Empress Joséphine made it fashionable; English-speaking countries adopted it in the 19th century, with periodic revivals since. Jozaphine itself remains uncommon and chiefly appears in contemporary anglophone records as a distinctive twist on a classic. Related forms include Joséphine (French), Josephine (English), Josefine (German, Scandinavian), Josefina (Spanish), Jozefina/Jozefína (Slavic), and Josefa. Diminutives such as Josie, Jo, Fifi, and Seph suit both spellings.
