Even the additional villains encountered in Egypt have connections to Tarot, such as the Thoth stand, which references a particular style of Tarot deck named for the Book of Thoth. Jotaro's Star Platinum, Joseph's Hermit Purple, and Avdol's Magician's Red, for example, are all references to cards, as is Dio's The World, which is the highest-ranked at 21. While the pattern didn't last forever, every early Stand introduced in Stardust Crusaders has a name that plays off a particular Tarot card of the Major Arcana, the 22 cards used in fortune telling. But in Jotaro's case, his name hints at a connection with the greater plot of the series. Jotaro is a fairly common given name in Japan, and -taro, in particular, is a common suffix seen in other names, like Kentaro. Since Jotaro was the first member of the Joestar family shown to be from Japan, it made sense to give him a name that would be just as normal there as Jonathan or Joseph would be in the west. The same can be said for his daughter from part 6, Jolyne Cujoh. Japanese names are generally read family name before given name, so he'd be more properly addressed as Kujo Jotaro, which leaves a "Jojo" in the middle. Where it starts to get complicated is with Jotaro. Related: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: The Strongest Fighter in the Manga (So Far)

Even Golden Wind's Giorno Giovanna can be shortened down to "GioGio," which sounds the same. Diamond Is Unbreakable's protagonist Josuke Higashikata's name seems like it might break the pattern at first, but his name relies on the ability to read Japanese Kanji characters in two different ways, with one reading resulting in that "Jo" sound. The first few Jojos are obvious: Jonathan Joestar and Joseph Joestar are ordinary English names that can be clearly shortened, and Jonathan is even referred to as Jojo in-universe by Dio, among others. In Jojo, each protagonist has had a name which can be shortened to or read as "Jojo," carrying the theme forward across protagonists throughout the series. At least, that certainly seems to have been the case for Stardust Crusaders' Jotaro Kujo. There's always some meaning in a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure character's name, but sometimes a secondary meaning can crop up all on their own.
