Meaning of Yusuf

Yusuf is a Quranic name for boys that refers to one of the prophets of the Quran, whose name is mentioned 27 times and chapter 12 of the Quran, known as Surat Yusuf, is dedicated entirely to his story. Yusuf is an ancient name that means “God gives”, “God increases” in the Bible, its meaning is not mentioned in the Quran.

“And [remember:] it was to you that Yusuf came aforetime with all evidence of the truth; but you never ceased to throw doubt on all [the messages] that he brought you – so much so that when he died, you said, ‘Never will God send any apostle after him!’ “In this way God lets go astray such as waste their own selves by throwing suspicion [on His revela­tions]. (Quran 40:34)
