Jozefa Origin and Meaning

The name Jozefa is a girl's name of Eastern European origin.

Jozefa is a feminine name with Slavic origins, representing the female form of Joseph. The name Joseph comes from Hebrew, meaning 'God will add' or 'God increases.' This variant spelling with 'z' instead of 's' and the feminine ending '-a' is particularly common in Polish, Czech, and other Eastern European languages. Jozefa carries the dignified history of the biblical Joseph while offering a distinctly feminine form with Slavic character. The name remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries but maintains cultural significance in Eastern Europe. For families with Slavic heritage, Jozefa offers a way to honor cultural roots while providing a strong, meaningful name. Its pronunciation (yo-ZEF-ah) adds a melodic quality that distinguishes it from other Joseph derivatives.
