Yoseph

Meaning of Yoseph

Yoseph is a masculine name of Hebrew origin, derived from יוֹסֵף (Yosef), meaning “he will add” or “God will increase.” In English the name is pronounced yo-SEF (/ˈjoʊsɛf/), while the Hebrew pronunciation yo-SEF (/joˈsef/) preserves its ancient accentuation. Best known from the biblical account of Joseph, son of Jacob—whose rise from favored child to Egyptian vizier exemplifies resilience and moral conviction—the name carries a legacy of steadfast faith and quiet authority. Though Yoseph has never claimed the very top of the U.S. popularity charts, it has remained within the top 1,000 names since the 1970s, currently sitting around rank 908 for newborn boys in 2024. It may not command chart-topping status, but that low-profile stability can be part of its understated charm, offering families a name that bridges time-honored tradition with subtle individuality.
