Joesph

Joesph is an alternative spelling of the classic biblical name Joseph, which derives from Hebrew and means 'God will add' or 'God will increase.' This masculine name carries the same rich biblical heritage as its more common spelling, referring to the son of Jacob who was sold into slavery by his brothers but rose to become a high official in Egypt. While less conventional than the standard spelling, Joesph maintains the same pronunciation and cultural significance. The variant spelling sometimes occurs due to clerical errors or deliberate modification for distinctiveness. Though less common, those named Joesph benefit from the positive associations of industriousness, faithfulness, and resilience connected to the biblical Joseph.

Joesph is also given to girls.

Pronounced JO-sef.
