An Italian masculine given name, equivalent to Joseph in English.
From Hebrew 'Yosef' meaning 'he will add' or 'God will increase', through Greek 'Ioseph' and Latin 'Iosephus'. The name entered Italian through early Christian traditions and became extremely popular during the Renaissance.
Giuseppe is so quintessentially Italian that it's often used stereotypically to represent any Italian man, yet it's actually one of the most international names in history, appearing in nearly every European language with slight variations. Famous Giuseppes include Verdi, Garibaldi, and countless pizza makers.
