Joseph is a common male name, derived from the HebrewYosef[1] (יוֹסֵף‎). "Joseph" is used,[2] along with "Josef", mostly in English, French and partially German languages. This spelling is also found as a variant in the languages of the modern-dayNordic countries. InPortuguese andSpanish, the name is "José". InArabic, including in theQuran, the name is spelledيوسف,Yūsuf. InKurdish (Kurdî), the name isÛsiv or Yûsiv,Persian, the name isYousef, and inTurkish it isYusuf. InPashto the name is spelledEsaf (ايسپ) and inMalayalam it is spelledOusep (ഔസേപ്പ്). InTamil, it is spelled asYosepu (யோசேப்பு).

The name has enjoyed significant popularity in its many forms in numerous countries, andJoseph was one of the two names, along withRobert, to have remained in the top 10 boys' names list in the US from 1925 to 1972.[3] It is especially common in contemporary Israel, as either "Yossi" or "Yossef", and in Italy, where the name "Giuseppe" was the most common male name in the 20th century. In the first century CE, Joseph was the second most popular male name for Jews.[4]

In theBook of Genesis[5]Joseph isJacob's eleventh son andRachel's first son, and known in theHebrew Bible asYossef ben-Yaakov.[6] In theNew Testament the most notable two areJoseph, the husband ofMary, the mother ofJesus; andJoseph of Arimathea, a secret disciple of Jesus who supplied the tomb in which Jesus was buried.

Etymology

[edit]

The Bible offers two explanations for the origins of the nameYosef: first, it is compared to the wordasaf from the root /'sp/,'taken away': "And she conceived, and bore a son; and said, God hathtaken away my reproach";Yosef is then identified with the similar root /ysp/, meaning'add': "And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shalladd to me another son."[7]The Jewish Encyclopedia says that it is atheophoric name referencingthe Tetragrammaton, and in fact his name is spelledJehoseph, with the theophoric first syllable'Jeho', once in Psalms.[8]The name can also consist of the Hebrewyadah meaning "praise", "fame" and the wordasaf.[citation needed]
