Etymology
Josephine-Marie combines two names: Josephine derives from the Hebrew name Yosef (יוֹסֵף), meaning "God will increase," while Marie comes from the Latin Maria, meaning "of the sea" or possibly derived from the Hebrew Miriam. The hyphenated form is primarily used in French-speaking Catholic cultures, particularly France, where it became popular after Josephine de Beauharnais (1763-1814), wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, and reflects the Catholic tradition of honoring both a saint name and the Virgin Mary.
