Jozephina is a modern hybrid spelling of the long-established feminine form of Joseph, blending the Slavic Jozefina/Józefina with the English/French Josephina/Josephine. Ultimately from Hebrew Yosef (“YHWH will add, increase”), the name spread through the Bible’s Joseph and flourished in Europe; its French form gained global cachet via Empress Joséphine (1763–1814), while Josephine Baker later renewed its glamour. In Central and Eastern Europe, Jozefina/Jožefina has long parish and civil-record presence; Jozephina appears occasionally in diaspora communities and contemporary name lists as a distinctive twist.
