Alternate Spellings

The name Jusuf is a classic masculine title rooted in Arabic tradition. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Joseph', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

Pronounced as Jusuf, it has a rhythmic flow that makes it memorable and distinct. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Jusuf, like the alternate spelling Yusuf, is the Arabic form of the Hebrew name Yosef. The Quran (12:3) describes the story of Prophet Yusuf (AS) as "the most beautiful of stories."

Reference Profile

Etymology

From the Hebrew Yosef ('he will add'). Yusuf (Joseph) is named in the Quran as a prophet; Surah 12 (Yusuf) recounts his story in detail, described in the Quran as 'the best of narratives' - Jusuf is a Southeast Asian transliteration.

Notable Historical Usage

The Quran names many of the same prophets as the earlier scriptures, among them Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, Dawud and Isa, and treats them as one line of messengers. Names of Hebrew origin are held in common between the traditions for that reason rather than borrowed from outside.
