Why in Mexico do they use the nickname "Chuy" for people who are named "Jesus"?
Thanks, Keziah <3

Hmmm…great question. I’ve heard it too but never really wondered about it. Also, “Chucho” is used in Cuba. It probably has a similar history to Pepe (José), Beto (Robeto/Alberto, etc.), “Nando”, etc. Inquiring minds want to know!
