Yosefa
Yosefa Origin and Meaning
Yosefa is a feminine name derived from Joseph, which comes from Hebrew origins meaning "God will add" or "God will increase." This feminine variation is used primarily in Hebrew and Spanish-speaking communities. While the more common feminine forms include Josephine or Josefina, Yosefa stays closer to the original Hebrew pronunciation of the masculine name (Yosef). The name carries biblical significance through its connection to Joseph in religious traditions. Yosefa remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries but has consistent usage in Israel and among Jewish communities worldwide. With its melodic three-syllable pronunciation (yo-SEF-ah), the name offers a distinctive yet accessible option that honors ancient traditions while maintaining a modern feel.
