Jozefien

Jozefien is a Dutch feminine form of the Hebrew name Yosef, built on the root meaning God will add or God will increase. It follows the pattern of other Flemish and Dutch feminine elaborations of the name, sitting alongside forms such as Josefine, Joséphine, and Giuseppina found across neighboring European languages. The masculine name Jozef itself entered Dutch through Latin Iosephus and Greek Ioseph, ultimately tracing back to the biblical patriarch Joseph of the Old Testament.
