Josephine is the feminine form of Joseph, derived from the Hebrew name Yosef (יוֹסֵף), meaning "God will increase" or "Jehovah increases." The name became popularized in Christian Europe through Saint Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, and gained particular prominence in France through Josephine de Beauharnais, wife of Napoleon Bonaparte.
