Yosef (Hebrew: יוֹסֵף Yōsef, lit. 'he will add'; also transliterated as Yossef, Josef, Yoseph Tiberian Hebrew and Aramaic Yôsēp̄ and Yosseph, or Joseph, Arabic Yusof) is a Hebrew male name derived from the Biblical character Joseph. The name can also consist of the Hebrew yadah meaning "praise", "fame" and the word asaf. It is the Hebrew equivalent of the Arabic name Yusuf and the source of the English name Joseph.
The name appears in the Book of Genesis. Joseph is Jacob's eleventh son and Rachel's first son, and known in the Jewish Bible as Yossef ben-Yaakov.
In Christian culture, the name has the additional significance of being the name of Saint Joseph, described in the canonical gospels as the husband of Mary, mother of Jesus, and Jesus' legal father.
