History & Origin

Mariajose blends María, from the Hebrew Miryam, with José, the Spanish form of Joseph from the Hebrew Yosef meaning 'he will add'. Bringing the two together traditionally honors Mary and Joseph in a single name, a common practice in Catholic Spanish-speaking families. Mexican singer María José, once vocalist of the pop band Kabah, carries the paired name.

Spelled as one word, Mariajose reflects the Hispanic habit of fusing two given names into a smooth whole. The María half lends warmth while the José half adds the steady weight of 'he will add', the meaning carried down from Joseph.

Did you know? The meaning usually attached to Mariajose is 'origin uncertain', and that core idea is what gives the name most of its long-term appeal.
