The name Josede is of Spanish origin, believed to have emerged during the late Middle Ages or early Renaissance period in Spain. It is a combination of the common Spanish names Jose and Ede, with Jose derived from the Hebrew name Yosef and Ede being a shortened form of the Germanic name Editha.

One of the earliest recorded uses of the name Josede can be found in a 16th-century Spanish manuscript, where it was mentioned as the name of a minor noble from the region of Andalusia. However, the name did not gain widespread popularity until the 17th and 18th centuries.

In the late 17th century, a notable figure named Josede Martínez de Velasco (1642-1718) was a Spanish military leader who played a significant role in the War of the Spanish Succession. He was renowned for his strategic brilliance and loyalty to the Bourbon cause.

Another prominent individual with this name was Josede Hidalgo y Costilla (1753-1816), a Mexican-born Catholic priest and revolutionary leader. He is considered one of the founding fathers of Mexican independence and played a crucial role in the early stages of the Mexican War of Independence against Spanish colonial rule.
