Yousuf

Yousuf is the Arabic form of the biblical name Joseph, which has its roots in the Hebrew name Yosef. The name Joseph is derived from the Hebrew phrase 'yasaf Yahweh,' meaning 'he will add' or 'increaser.'

In the biblical story, Joseph was the 11th son of Jacob and Rachel, and his narrative is detailed in the Book of Genesis. He was given the name Joseph by his mother, and it carried the hope that he would be the 'increaser' or addition to the family.

The name Yousuf is a popular name among Muslims, as it is the name of the Prophet Joseph, who is revered in Islamic tradition. His story of faith, resilience, and forgiveness is narrated in the Quran.

Beyond its religious significance, the name Yousuf is widely used in Arab and Muslim cultures, often symbolizing values such as perseverance, leadership, and wisdom.
