Josefien

Josefien is a Dutch feminine form of Josef, which derives from the Hebrew name Yosef, meaning "he will add" or "God will add," from the root yasaf. The name ultimately traces back to the biblical patriarch Joseph, son of Jacob, whose story is recounted in the Book of Genesis. Josefien is the characteristically Dutch elaboration of the name, paralleling forms such as Joséphine in French and Giuseppina in Italian.
