Jozefin appears in late-20th-century records as a simplified spelling used in Slavic contexts and by diaspora communities. Short forms include Jo, Josie, Fina, and Ina. Close variants: Jozefina/Jozefína, Josefina, Josefin/Josefine, Josephine, and Józefina. It suits international families seeking a familiar biblical root with a distinctive pan-European twist.
