Meaning:May Jehovah give increase
If baby has Jewish heritage, why not pay tribute to their roots with the beautiful girl's name, Josphine, meaning "Jehovah increases"? Without that extra “e,” this name becomes a rare gem that'll help baby stand out in the crowd. Plus, they'll be able to carry on the rich legacy that follows its more common form, Josephine. As baby grows, so will their dazzling personality and list of adorable nicknames. If they're a bit of a tomboy, perhaps Jo will become the favorite! This short form was made famous by the ambitious and energetic Josephine "Jo" March of Louisa May Alcott's novel Little Women. With such a role model, your little one will surely be the main character of their own life.
