Yuszef, and its variants, is a common name in the Arab world. An alternative to Joseph, two biblical figures can be credited for the respect and admiration the moniker holds—the son of Jacob, who, after being sold by his brothers into slavery, becomes a force to be reckoned with, and as Jesus’s earthly father. With the meaning “God increases,” this name gives thanks to God for the newest addition to the family whose arrival has definitely dialed up the love quotient!
