Joseguadalupe
A boy's name of Spanish origin with 152 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Fewer than 152 Americans have ever been named Joseguadalupe. It first appeared in SSA records in 1987 and peaked modestly at 13 births in 2006 — rare enough to be distinctive, with just enough history to feel grounded.
Joseguadalupe is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Joseguadalupe is a boy's baby name of Spanish origin, a compound of José, the Spanish form of Joseph meaning 'God will add,' and Guadalupe, the venerated title of the Virgin Mary in Mexico. Together they form a deeply devotional name honoring both a biblical patriarch and Mexico's most beloved Marian apparition.
EtymologyShow more
Joseguadalupe first shows up in U.S. Social Security records in 1987. First appearing in the 1980s, Joseguadalupe emerged during a period of rapid naming innovation in America, when parents increasingly created new names or adopted them from global cultures.
Its Spanish classification suggests a path from spanish linguistic traditions into American usage, though the specific route — whether through immigration, literature, or cultural exchange — would require deeper historical research.
