Jozef

Jozef is the Slovak, Dutch, and Albanian form of Joseph, which derives from the Hebrew name Yosef, meaning "he will add" or "God will increase," from the root yasaf. The name is rooted in the biblical figure Joseph, son of Jacob, whose story is central to the Book of Genesis, as well as the New Testament figure Joseph of Nazareth. Related forms include Józef in Polish, Jožef in Slovene, and Josef across various Germanic languages, all ultimately tracing back to the same Hebrew source.
