Best Answer

"Josephine's" maiden name was: Beauharnais

Her birth name was Rose-Joseph, it wasn't until she met Napoleon that she was called "Josephine". It was Napoleons insistence that she use the name "Josephine" in public but her family called her "Yeyette" or simply "Rose"

Comment from a Josephine fan....

The info above is a little off. While it is true that Josephine was called Rose as a child, her maiden name was Tascher dela Pagerie. Beauharnais was the last name of her first husband.
