[name_m]Yosef[/name_m]?
[name_m]Yosef[/name_m] is a Hebrew name that means “God will increase”, which is where the name [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] originates from. I wrote a book with a character named [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_m]Ian[/name_m], and the middle name [name_m]Ian[/name_m] means “God is gracious.” There are so many names with meanings related to god/gods, and a theophoric name is one that uses the god’s name itself–because “theo” means god. The name [name_u]Theo[/name_u] is a great nickname for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], but my favorite one is [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]. Thus, Yosef’s nickname is [name_u]Teddy[/name_u].
