Marijose is a Hispanic compound given name, a fused form of María José, combining Mary and Joseph. It derives from Spanish and Portuguese traditions of devotional double names honoring the Holy Family; in Basque and some Spanish records the two elements are often agglutinated as Marijose or shortened to Marijo. Semantically it unites Mary (from Hebrew Miryam, often interpreted as “beloved,” “bitter/sea,” or “drop of the sea”) with Joseph (Hebrew Yosef, “he will add, increase”), yielding a name associated with protection and divine favor.

Usage grew throughout the 20th century in Spain, the Basque Country, and Latin America, where María José ranks among enduring feminine choices; the compact Marijose functions as both official name and affectionate everyday form. Cross-linguistic counterparts include Maria José (Portuguese) and Marie‑José (French). Related variants and nicknames: Mari José, Marijo, Majo, Mary Jo, MJ. The masculine pairing José María serves as its traditional male mirror.
