Christians like to name their children after characters in The Bible. Catholics favour New Testament names, while Protestants have traditionally preferred the Old Testament.
In the Old Testament, Jose (Joseph) was the eleventh son of Jacob and the ancestor of one of the Twelve Tribes. His dramatic story takes up most of the second half of Genesis.
In the New Testament, Jose (Joseph) is the husband of Mary and the stepfather of Jesus.
Both Josephs are very heroic characters. So this name is popular with both Catholics and Protestants.
