Pepe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

See also the diminuitive form, Pepito

Pepe is a nickname for any person called José, but is also often used with different connotations. Etymologically, it derives from the name of Saint Joseph, considered to be the reputed father of Jesus. The folk etymology for the name Pepe in Spanish for putative father is padre putativo, abbreviated to PP, and pronounced Pepe. Pepe is also nickname in Italy for Giuseppe (Joseph) by a phonetical derivation.

In Spain it is commonly associated with the Partido Popular (People's Party), especially when José María Aznar was the leader of the party and Prime Minister.

In some regions of Latin America it is used derogatively to address people who are — or are considered — illiterate, uneducated or of a lower social class. In Cuba, it is at times used to refer to a bastard child.

It can also be used in a derogative manner to address someone who has an unpleasant smell. This is in reference to the cartoon character "Pepé Le Pew".
