Portugal is a country with a lot of people with the surname ‘Silva’ (approximately 995,000 people), and one of them was Jota’s youth teammate. 

Seeing this, Jota decided to change his name so that it wouldn’t be the same as his other friends, before finally settling on his own name, “DIOGO J.”, which comes from his full name, Diogo Jose Teixeira da Silva.

So why do people call him ‘Diogo Jota’ instead of ‘Diogo Jose’?

The answer is because Jota named himself “DIOGO J.”, which made people read his name as “Diogo J.” and the letter J in Portuguese is pronounced as “Jota.” In the end, the word “DIOGO J.” was pronounced by the Portuguese as “Diogo Jota” or Diogo Jota, which is the current name.

In the news of the death of ‘Diogo’ and ‘Andre’, the younger brother, we see that there will be different names and surnames of the two brothers, which are “Diogo Jota” and “Andre Silva”. That is because Jota’s younger brother uses Jota’s real and original surname, ‘Silva’. ( sakidbet )
