ArchivesRe: The *meaning* of Pepe
in reply to a message by Susan Urban
The "meaning" of a name in this context is its etymology, which is the history of its origin.
This site says that Pepe is a Spanish diminutive of Joseph. That's its origin. So the "meaning" of Pepe is "Spanish diminutive of Joseph." The only "meaning" beyond that would be to trace it back to the Hebrew origin of Joseph.
The Latin form of Joseph is Josephus or Iosephus.
