Meaning & Origin

Yosuf is a boy's baby name of Arabic origin, a variant of Yusuf (Joseph) — from the Hebrew Yosef, meaning 'God will add' or 'God shall increase.' Yusuf is one of the most revered names in Islam — the Quran's longest surah (Chapter 12) is named for him.

Yosuf is a phonetic variant of Yusuf found in some communities. The Prophet Joseph/Yusuf's story of endurance, forgiveness, and ultimate triumph over betrayal makes this one of the most spiritually resonant names in the Abrahamic traditions.
