Assalam Alaykoum,

What is the best (the
most correct) spelling of the Muslim name يوسف (it�s the name of a prophet):
Yousef, Youssef, Youssouf, Yusuf?

Are some of the four spellings incorrect to the
point that they lose the meaning of the Muslim name يوسف?

	Assalamu Alykum Koopa, I would start saying: Yousuf is not an arabic name, we got it from the Quran telling us about Yousuf the prophet, I think it's Hebrew name. But the most correct spelling is: Yoosuf because the letter S: س has Damma whitish is produced as u in this case (oo here is pronounced as in "good".
