Meaning and formation

De Jesus comes from Spanish de Jesús, “of Jesus”. It combines the preposition de with the personal name Jesús and belongs to the religious surnames borrowed into Philippine languages. Spanish Jesús has an accent on ú. In Philippine use, De Jesus is commonly written as two words without that accent. The name occurs in both Tagalog and Kapampangan. One Philippine bearer was José Corazón de Jesús, the Tagalog poet known as Huseng Batute, whose surname retained the particle de as part of the family name.
