Jozefien

Jozefien is a Dutch feminine form of the name Josef, itself derived from the Hebrew Yosef, meaning he will add or God will increase, reflecting a sense of divine blessing and abundance. The Hebrew name is borne in the Old Testament by the son of Jacob and Rachel, whose story of enslavement and rise to power in Egypt became one of the most celebrated biblical narratives. Jozefien remains a rare variant in the Dutch-speaking world, standing alongside more common feminine forms such as Josefine, Joséphine, and Josefa.
