Yusuf

Yusuf is the Arabic and Turkish form of Joseph, a name shared by patriarchs and prophets in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim tradition. The Quranic Surah Yusuf tells his story in full, making the name deeply beloved across the Muslim world from Morocco to Indonesia. In America it has grown steadily as a choice for Muslim families and increasingly for non-Muslim parents drawn to its elegance, now at 475. Two clean syllables begin softly and close with a quiet F, a gentle cadence for a name of such global reach. Yusuf reads as devotional, internationally rooted, and quietly distinguished. A classic in any language.
