The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Vertitque nomen ejus, et vocavit eum, lingua ægyptiaca, Salvatorem mundi. Deditque illi uxorem Aseneth filiam Putiphare sacerdotis Heliopoleos. Egressus est itaque Joseph ad terram Ægypti
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Φαραὼ τὸ ὄνομα Ἰωσὴφ Ψονθομφανήχ· καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ τὴν Ἀσεννὲθ θυγατέρα Πετρεφῆ ἱερέως Ἡλίου πόλεως αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיִּקְרָ֨א פַרְעֹ֣ה שֵׁם יוֹסֵף֮ צָֽפְנַ֣ת פַּעְנֵחַ֒ וַיִּתֶּן ל֣וֹ אֶת אָֽסְנַ֗ת בַּת פּ֥וֹטִי פֶ֛רַע כֹּהֵ֥ן אֹ֖ן לְאִשָּׁ֑ה וַיֵּצֵ֥א יוֹסֵ֖ף עַל אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם

Haydock's commentary

The saviour of the world. Tsaphenath pahneach. (Challoner)

In the Coptic language, which is derived from the Egyptian, Psotemphane is said to mean the saviour of the world. St. Jerome supposed this word was not Hebrew; and therefore he added, in the Egyptian tongue, though he knew it might be interpreted in Hebrew "a revealer of secrets." (q. Heb.)

Putiphare. Whether this person be the same with his old master, cannot easily be decided. Most people think he was not. See St. Chrysostom, 63. hom.

Priest. None were esteemed more noble in Egypt.

Heliopolis. Hebrew On, "the city of the sun," built on the banks of the Nile, about half a day's journey to the north of Memphis.
