Yoseph is of Hebrew origin and means "He will increase." It was borne by several characters in the Bible, most notably Joseph, who was the husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus. In the New Testament, it was used as a variant form of Joseph. The name Yoseph peaked in popularity during the 1980s but has since declined in usage.
The name Yoseph experienced significant growth in popularity from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, with a notable peak in the early 2000s. The number of annual births fluctuated considerably over time, ranging from as few as 5 (in 1975 and 1978) to as many as 37 (in 2005). Since then, popularity has decreased, with totals in the mid-to-high teens or low twenties per year. As of 2023, a total of 920 children named Yoseph have been born since 1975.
