Jusuf is Arabic, Bosnian, Hebrew, Indonesian in Origin.
Jusuf is a South Slavic and Indonesian spelling of Yusuf, the Arabic Qur’anic form of Hebrew יוֹסֵף, Yosef, the earliest attested form in the biblical tradition. Yosef is built on the Hebrew verb yasaf, to add or increase, with a prefixed imperfect y-, so the name is read literally as he will add; in Genesis, Rachel’s naming formula supplies the divine subject: may the Lord add another son.
In Islamic usage Yusuf names a prophet and gives its title to the twelfth surah of the Quran, helping carry the name through Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Balkan Muslim communities. Jusuf is especially visible in Bosnia and Herzegovina and neighboring South Slavic settings shaped by Ottoman naming practice; it also occurs in Indonesia, as in the statesman Jusuf Kalla. International variants include Yusuf, Yousef, Youssef, Yosef, Joseph, Josef, José, and Giuseppe.
