The Biblical Era
The name יוסף is the future form (third person singular) of the verb להוסיף (le'hosif, "to add"). Rachel, Joseph's mother, hoped God would give her another son.
There are several people in the Bible called Joseph. The most important among them Joseph, the son of Jacob and Rachel. Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, made him a governor of Egypt.
"And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her and opened her womb. And she conceived and bare a son, and said, God hath taken away my reproach. And she called his name Joseph and said, The Lord shall add to me another son." Genesis 30, 22-24
