Yehosef Origin and Meaning

The name Yehosef is a boy's name.

Yehosef is a masculine name of Hebrew origin, representing a traditional variant of 'Joseph' (or 'Yosef'). The name derives from the Hebrew phrase 'Yosiph El' meaning 'God will add' or 'God increases.' This traditional Hebrew spelling stays closer to the original biblical form than the more common Joseph. While relatively rare in mainstream Western societies, Yehosef maintains significance in Jewish communities that prefer traditional or Biblical Hebrew names. The name carries deep religious significance as Joseph was a key figure in both the Old Testament/Torah and New Testament. Yehosef offers a strong connection to Jewish heritage and biblical tradition. Though uncommon in broader naming trends, it provides a distinct identity while connecting to the widely recognized and historically significant Joseph narrative across multiple cultures and religious traditions.
