Victorian Girl Names from the 1800s

  1. JosephaHeart
    • Origin:

      Feminine variation of Joseph
    • Meaning:

      "Jehovah increases"
    • Description:

      Josepha is less heard in this country than in other parts of the world, seen as a slightly awkward feminization a la Ricarda and Benjamina. In the U.S., Josephine or Joanna is the more usual feminine form of Joseph, though you might consider Josepha if you want to break rank.
