Hi !!!
I'm Italian.
I've never heard it before.
When I checked it I found a couple of people profiles and no more info.
By the way it is probably a short for of
Giuseppa as you said but not a hybrid. Maybe it was influenced by Spanish variant
Josefa.
What list of Medieval Italian names? It would be interesting!
If you like this kind of names I suggest you Lisabetta a Medieval form of
Elisabetta. This name has a literarian vibe because "Lisabetta da Messina" is the protagonist of a novella on "Decameron" by Boccaccio.
Lisabetta is much better if you want a Medieval Italian name.
Decameron is well-known and it is clearly linked with it.
Everyone would think about it (well..everyone who remember its studies as every Italian study Decameron at school and Lisabetta da Messina is one of the most read part of it) and people would think you love both Middle
Age and Italian Literature. But firstly read this novella and then decide.
Iseppa instead is obscure. I would not use it.
But...Lavinia?
Are you Italian too?
Or it is only a username?
