Yoseob is Chinese, Korean in Origin.
Yoseob is a Korean masculine given name, usually representing Hangul 요섭 and more regularly romanized Yo-seop under South Korea’s Revised Romanization. The spelling records two Sino-Korean syllable readings: yo and seop. As with most Korean given names, the literal sense depends on the chosen hanja, not on the Hangul alone; one attested form is 耀燮, combining 耀 yo, shine or brilliance, with 燮 seop, harmonize or regulate. Without specified characters, the name has no fixed lexical meaning.
The name belongs to the modern Korean two-syllable naming pattern that became standard in family-name-plus-given-name usage by the twentieth century. Outside Korea it is seen mainly through revised or passport-style romanizations, especially Yoseob and Yoseop; older McCune-Reischauer would write Yosŏp. Singer Yang Yo-seob has made this spelling familiar to K-pop audiences, but it remains culturally Korean rather than an English biblical form.
Yoseob is exceptionally rare. There are only 5 recorded uses on record, spread over 5 countries.
