joesph is Hebrew in Origin.
Joesph is a modern respelling of Joseph, rooted in the Hebrew name Yosef from the verb yasaf, "to add" or "increase." It conveys the prayerful sense "may God add (another son)." The name’s prominence stems from the biblical patriarch Joseph, son of Jacob, and from Saint Joseph in the New Testament, fostering continuous use across Jewish and Christian traditions and, through Yusuf, in the Muslim world. In English-speaking countries Joseph has ranked highly since medieval times; Joesph appears intermittently in records from the 19th century onward, often through transposition but sometimes as a deliberate, distinctive choice. Pronunciation typically matches Joseph.
Related forms include Joseph, Yosef, Yossef, Yousef/Youssef, Yusuf, José, Josep, Giuseppe, Josef, Józef, Jozef, Josip, Iosif, and Sosefo. Nicknames are Joe, Joey, and occasionally Seph; feminine counterparts include Josephine, Josie, Josefina, Giuseppina, and Josette.
