Ἰωσῆτος
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.
