José

José is a predominantly Spanish and Portuguese form of the given name Joseph. While spelled alike, this name is pronounced differently in each language: in Spanish and in Portuguese (or ). In French, the name José, pronounced , is an old vernacular form of Joseph, which is also in current usage as a given name. José is also commonly used as part of male name composites, such as José Manuel, José Maria or Antonio José, and also in female name composites like Maria José or Marie-José. José is also a Belgian Dutch male given name, pronounced , and for which the female written form is Josée as in French. In Netherlandic Dutch however, José is a female given name, and is pronounced ; it may occur as part of name composites like Marie-José or as a female first name in its own right; it can also be short for the name Josina and even a Dutch hypocorism of the name Johanna. In England, Jose is originally a Romano-Celtic surname, and people with this family name can usually be found in, or traced to, the English county of Cornwall, where it was especially frequent during the fourteenth century; this surname is pronounced , as in the English names Joseph or Josephine. According to another interpretation "Jose" is cognate with "Joyce"; "Joyce" is an English and Irish surname derived from the Breton personal name "Iodoc" which was introduced to England by the Normans in the form "Josse". In medieval England the name was occasionally borne by women but more commonly by men; the variant surname "Jose" is local to Devon and Cornwall.

The common spelling of this given name in different languages is a case of interlingual homography. Similar cases occur in English given names (Albert, Bertrand, Christine, Daniel, Eric, Ferdinand) that are not exclusive to the English language, and which can be found namely in French with a different pronunciation under exactly the same spelling.
