Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Joe is a hugely popular first name for a male. It is the short form of the name Joseph. There are many famous people from almost all walks of life, especially from the world of sports who sport this name. Here is a noteworthy mention: Joe Frazier and Joe Louis (boxers), Joe Di Maggio (basket ball player), Joe L. Thomas(R&B singer and producer), etc.

    Joe is also slang for "coffee". History has it that Josephus Daniels was selected as secretary of the Navy by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913. He was instrumental in making a lot of contributions in the naval field. He introduced women into the service and abolished the officers' wine mess. He was also popular for pioneering the tradition of preparing 100 sailors from the Fleet to apply for the Naval Academy.  After he abolished the wine mess, the compulsory drink among Naval sailors was only coffee. With respect to this practice, a cup of coffee came to be known as "a cup of Joe."
