Josefiina is a Finnish feminine form of Joseph, which derives from the Hebrew name Yosef, meaning "he will add" or "God will increase," rooted in the verb yasaf. The name entered Finnish usage through the Latinized form Josephina and its French cognate Joséphine, which gained widespread popularity across Europe following the fame of Empress Joséphine, wife of Napoleon Bonaparte.
