What does the name "Joseph" mean?
Joseph is the English version of the Hebrew name “Yosef,” which means “he will add.” It was the name of the great patriarch who saved God’s people Israel at the time of the great famine, when they had to go down into Egypt. Like the patriarch, Joseph of Nazareth had charge and responsibility for the Household of God in Jesus and Mary.
