Joseantonio is a compound of the Spanish names José and Antonio. José is the Spanish form of Joseph, from Hebrew Yosef meaning 'he will add.'

The combined name has been used in Spanish-speaking cultures, particularly in Latin America, as a traditional double name honoring both Saint Joseph and Saint Anthony.
