Jusepe is Spanish in Origin.

Jusepe is an early Iberian/Aragonese spelling of the name Joseph, ultimately from Hebrew Yosef, “he will add” or “God will increase.” The form likely passed through Latin Iosephus and medieval Romance spellings such as Josepe before modern Spanish standardized José. Though rare today, Jusepe preserves a distinctly early modern flavor and appears in documents from the Crown of Aragon and colonial New Spain.

Notable bearers include the Baroque painter Jusepe de Ribera (1591–1652) and the Aragonese artist and theorist Jusepe Martínez (1600–1682), anchoring the name in 16th–17th‑century usage. Related variants include José (Spanish), Josep (Catalan/Valencian), Josepe (Basque), Giuseppe (Italian), Joseph (English/French), Josef (German/Scandinavian/Central European), and Yosef or Yossef (Hebrew). Feminine counterparts are Josefa (Spanish) and Giuseppa (Italian); Spanish nicknames such as Pepe or Chepe may be used informally. Today, Jusepe appeals to parents seeking a historical Spanish form with deep biblical roots.
