Josep shines as Joseph's Catalan iteration, sharing its Hebrew beginnings. Meaning "He will increase" or "He will add," Josep celebrates the belief in God's provision held by many world religions. It may also represent your hope that your little one's story will be one of abundant joy, friendship, and love.
