MEANING & HISTORY
What does Jose Jimmy mean?
Jose is explicitly recorded as the unaccented José form used in the Americas and Philippines. Its Joseph family comes from Hebrew Yosef, understood as may he add.
Jimmy is a documented James diminutive. James belongs to Jacob through Latin Iacomus; Jacob has competing historical explanations, so the familiar form is clearer than one unqualified supplanter gloss.
