Best Answer

The name Joseph is Hebrew. The Pharaoh did not give Joseph a Hebrew name, he gave him an Egyptian name, which was Zaphnathpaaneah.

Genesis 41:45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.

The pharaoh of Joseph was likely Pharaoh Amenemhat III or a ruler from the 12th Dynasty of ancient Egypt. Joseph served as a high-ranking official in the pharaoh's court during a period of prosperity and famine, as described in The Bible.

The Bible does not say and there is no extra-biblical Egyptian or Greek source that mentions Joseph or the events in the Joseph-story (such as the seven years of plenty and seven years of famine). As a result, it is unanswerable.
