What does Yusufali mean?
May God add, and exalted or high
In Turkish: Tanrı artırsın ve yüce, yüksek
Yusufali joins two independent names and retains the historical associations of each. Yusuf recalls the prophet whose story appears in the Quran; Ali recalls Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law. The combined form is a pairing of personal names rather than a single Arabic phrase with a new grammatical meaning.
Ali is an Arabic-origin name meaning “exalted” or “high,” used in compounds such as Yusufali and Binali. The final letters in names such as Kemali do not necessarily represent Ali. More boy names ending in -ali →
