Throughout the world, Yossi (יוסף , Yossi , יוסי , and others...) is quite a common gender-neutral first name. The first name Yossi is habitual in Dominica, where it is quite a common boy's name, Israel, and Indonesia, where it is quite a rare epicene name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Indonesia, Israel, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Very seldom, Yossi is the last name as well as the forename.
Yossi is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Joseph , the Christian saint; husband of Mary and father of Jesus, Presentation of Jesus at the Temple; Caiaphas , the Jewish High Priest (c. 14 BC - c. 46 AD); Joseph Barsabbas , the Biblical figure; Youssef Bakri , character in Les de l'hoquei and Youssef Bakali , character in Thuis, among other works.
