Yusuf (Arabic: يوسف Yūsuf and Yūsif) is a male Aramaic name, meaning "God increases" (in piety, power and influence) in Hebrew.
Muhammad (Arabic: محمد) is the primary transliteration of the Arabic given name مُحَمَّد that comes from the passive participle of the Arabic verb ḥammada (حَمَّدَ), praise, which comes from the triconsonantal root Ḥ-M-D. The word can therefore be translated as "praised, commendable, laudable".
