"to judge"
The name Josafat is commonly a male name from the "" origin that means "to judge".
Josafat is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Jehoshaphat, the name of a king of Judah in the Hebrew Bible (1 Kings 22:41). The Hebrew Yehoshafat joins a shortened form of the divine name with the root shafat, "to judge", and Hebrew lexicography glosses it as "Yahweh has judged". The name is therefore not a modern coinage, despite its late and sparse appearance in United States birth records.
The pronunciation of Josafat is JOH-suh-fat.
