Sep

Sep is a Dutch masculine given name functioning as a short form of Joseph, which derives from the Hebrew Yosef, meaning he will add or God will increase. The name reflects the longstanding Dutch tradition of creating clipped pet forms from longer biblical names for everyday use. Joseph itself has been borne by numerous figures of historical and religious importance, most notably the patriarch of the Hebrew Bible and the husband of Mary in Christian tradition. Related forms include Jozef, Sepp, and Josef.
