People

Pepe is a nickname for José (Spanish), and an Italian surname.

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, the reputed father of Jesus. Thus 'PP' = padre putativo (putative father). Perhaps by coincidence, the Italian diminutive of Giuseppe (José in Italian) is 'Beppe', 'Peppe', or 'Peppino'.
