Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for Pepe, with forms such as "eppe", "peep", and "peppe".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "PP", "pie", "Per", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
No documented word history exists for this headword, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct Spanish form is Pepe, spelled P-E-P-E.
