Joseito

Joseito Origin and Meaning

The name Joseito is a boy's name.

Joseito is a masculine Spanish diminutive form of José, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Joseph meaning 'God will add' or 'God will increase.' The suffix '-ito' in Spanish conveys endearment and smallness, making Joseito essentially mean 'little José.' This affectionate variant is more common in Spanish-speaking regions, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean, where diminutive forms are frequently used as given names. Joseito carries the warmth and cultural richness associated with Hispanic naming traditions. While not widely used in the United States, it represents a charming option for families with Spanish heritage or those seeking a name with Latin flair that maintains connections to the more familiar Joseph/José.
