JoJo Wiki:Name Variants

Due to a lack of proper localization, a common problem for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fans is determining the correct spelling of names found in the series. Multiple scanlation groups, fansubbers, and even professional anime and gaming companies often translate these names based on assumption or other reference material. Because of the series' common theme of referencing musical artists, a false etymology has formed amongst fans regarding some of the names.

Araki himself is not known for his consistency, and spelling changes become apparent even in the manga. (see Joseph Joestar or Jotaro Kujo below). Many fans believe most of the names are spelt exactly like the artists and bands they reference (with some exceptions such as Zeppeli) due to the belief that Araki does not like copyright changes to his character names, but for the purposes of this wiki, the articles use a naming convention that takes into account the most recent Japanese romanization found in the manga or Artbooks, as well as their consistency throughout multiple official sources.

The list below contains various alternatives of names commonly found in translations and other sources.
