Józefina is a feminine name that represents the Polish spelling of Josephine. The name ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Joseph (Yosef), meaning "God will add" or "God will increase." The letter 'ó' in Polish indicates a longer 'o' sound. This spelling carries strong Polish cultural connections while maintaining the recognizable link to the more common Josephine.

It offers a sophisticated international variation on a classic name.
