Ἰωσῆ

Iōsēs

of Joses

A male proper name in Koine Greek, representing an abbreviated or alternate form of 'Joseph' (Ἰωσήφ), principally used for personal identification. In the New Testament, refers to specific individuals, most notably a follower of Jesus and a brother or relative of Jesus. The form Ἰωσῆς appears distinct from Ἰωσήφ, though the names are closely related and sometimes overlap in use. May signify either a personal Greek adaptation or a Hellenistic diminutive of the Hebrew Yosef.

of Joses

Morphological NotesNoun, genitive, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GMS) — proper personal name in genitive case.
Rendering RationaleThe genitive masculine singular form denotes possession or association, rendered naturally in English with "of." "Joses" preserves the distinct Greek form Ἰωσῆς as a Hellenized variant of Joseph rather than conflating it with Ἰωσήφ.
