José is a very common male given name in Spanish-speaking countries, equivalent to the English name Joseph. It originates from the Hebrew name 'Yosef' (יוֹסֵף), meaning 'God will add' or 'He will add'. While 'Joseph' is its direct English translation, the name 'José' is frequently used in its original form in English-speaking contexts, especially when referring to individuals of Hispanic descent, retaining its cultural significance.
