I've googled it, but no luck! Is "Jualito" a Spanish nickname for Joel???

Question

I've heard people say it. Its pronunciation is Wah-li-to.

I just want to make sure I don't accidentally call a "Joel" something else.

Answer 1

In spanish there is no such nickname as "Jualito", as far as i know.

But "Juanito" is a nickname for Juan.

By the way, my son´s name is Joel, and NOBODY calls him Jualito.

Answer 2

I'm with the previous answerer; there is no such name as Jualito.

The diminutive/form of endearment for Joel is Joelito.

Pronounced: hoh-eh-lee-toh

You'll find many web entries with that name:
