Josephine is the French feminine form of Joseph, itself from Hebrew and often given as "God will add" or "may he increase." The name is traditionally associated with growth and abundance arriving gradually rather than all at once, and it carries a certain historical elegance from its long use among European nobility.
Give not judgment before thou knowest the intention of the querent; for many ask they know not what, nor can they express what they intend. - William Lilly (1602.-1681.)
