Jose = Pepe

Did you ever stop to wonder why José is familiarly or affectionately called Pepe?

Whenever the name of San José would appear, the abbreviated annotation in Latin would be appear next to it as P.P. for "pater putandis" (Latin) or "padre putativo" (Spanish) ... ergo, Pepe (double P in Spanish) became the nickname for José!
