Josepa Origin and Meaning

The name Josepa is a girl's name.

Josepa is a feminine name that represents the female form of Joseph, primarily found in Catalan culture. Derived from the Hebrew name Yosef meaning 'he will add,' Josepa carries the same rich biblical heritage as its masculine counterpart. While common in Catalonia and among Catalan-speaking communities, the name remains quite rare in international contexts. Josepa has a melodic quality with its three syllables and open ending vowel, typical of Romance language feminine names. The name offers the familiar nickname options of 'Pepa' or 'Josie.' Josepa combines ancient heritage with a distinctive feminine form, appealing to parents seeking a name with historical depth that remains relatively uncommon outside its cultural context.
