Pepee is Spanish in Origin.

Pepee is a modern, playful variant of Pepe, the familiar diminutive for Joseph in the Romance languages, especially Spanish (José) and Italian (Giuseppe). Its ultimate root is the Hebrew name Yosef, interpreted as “he will add” or “God increases.” The double‑e spelling is a contemporary, phonetic styling sometimes seen in digital contexts and pop culture; in Turkey, Pepee is also recognized as the name of a popular children’s TV character, which has boosted the name’s visibility even though it is not a traditional Turkish given name.

Usage tends to be informal: Pepee/Pepe appears most often as a nickname rather than a registered first name. In Francophone regions, Pépé colloquially means “grandfather,” so formal use there is rare. Close variants include Pepe, Pepê (Portuguese), Pépé (French nickname), Pepi, and Pepito; related formal equivalents are Joseph, José, Giuseppe, and Josep. In Spanish, feminine counterparts Josefa and Josefina yield Pepa or Pepi.
