Usage: The name "Joseph" in the New Testament is used to refer to several individuals, most notably Joseph, the husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy disciple who provided his own tomb for Jesus' burial. The name means "he will add" or "Jehovah has added," reflecting a sense of increase or blessing.

Cultural and Historical Background: In Jewish tradition, the name Joseph is significant due to the patriarch Joseph, son of Jacob, whose account is recounted in Genesis. Known for his rise to power in Egypt and his role in saving his family during famine, Joseph's legacy carried into the New Testament era, where the name remained popular. Joseph, the husband of Mary, is depicted as a righteous man, obedient to God's guidance. Joseph of Arimathea is noted for his courage and devotion in caring for Jesus' body after the crucifixion.
