In Spanish what is "Jose"?

The Philippines and Mexico were colonized by the Spaniards almost on the same time. Ferdinand Magellan is indeed Portuguese, but has Spanish troops. Spaniard Hernán Cortés went to Mexico in 1519. The Aztec King Moctezuma II invited the spaniard to Tenochtitlán, he believed that Cortés might be the serpent god Quetzalcoatl. It was a disastrous plan since Cortés was able to make allies on the way to the place. In May 1521, Cortez and his followers attacked and conquered the Aztecs. Cortés then colonized the area and named it Nueva España (New Spain). By 1574, Spain controlled a large portion of the Aztec empire and had enslaved most of the indigenous population. And when did the Spanish arrived in the Philippines? 1521 right? The same year that Cortés invaded the Aztec population in New Spain.
