fame, reputation, praise
譽 centers on public recognition of worth: fame, a good reputation, and the praise that comes with it.
譽 is the traditional form of 誉. It combines 言 (words) with 與, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of giving or sharing, suggesting words that bestow praise and reputation.
The top component 與 looks like hands lifting something up, and the bottom is 言 (words). Picture people raising their words in praise, lifting someone's reputation and fame.
For ヨ, imagine a famous person being praised with a hearty 'Yo!' from the crowd: Yo -> ヨ, and the words 言 lift their reputation.
