Where did the French Joseph family come from? What is the French Joseph family crest and coat of arms? When did the Joseph family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Joseph family history?

The prominent surname Joseph originated in France, a country which has been a dominant presence in world affairs for centuries.The earliest forms of hereditary surnames in France were the patronymic surnames, which are derived from the father's given name, and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the mother's given name. The patronyms were derived from a variety of given names that were of many different origins. As well as the names of the saints of the Christian Church, many of the most common French surnames are derived from personal names of Germanic origin. The name Joseph is derived from the Hebrew given name Yosef, which is familiar from The Bible, and means May he (God) add another son.
