Origin

Derived from the Hebrew name Yosef, meaning 'He will increase'. The name Joseph appears in biblical texts as the son of Jacob and Rachel, renowned for his coat of many colours and his role in Egypt. The form 'Jaijoseph' is a creative or stylised variation, possibly a modern amalgamation or a phonetic spelling influenced by Indigenous or Māori phonology, though it does not have documented roots in traditional Aboriginal or Māori languages.

Pronunciation

dʒeɪˈdʒoʊzɪf (j-eye-JO-sef) in Australian English, emphasis on the second syllable, with clear enunciation of the 'J' sounds and the 's' as in 'see'.
