i only know of 3 people with the name ''JEPH'' and that's Jeph loeb the famous comic book writer and Jeph howard from the band, the used
,and Jeph jacques a web comic artist. i know on Jeph loeb's wikipedia page that his full name is Joseph ''JEPH'' loeb the 3rd. so is Jeph a nickname? or is it a shorter version for Joseph. alot of people think it's a short version for Jeff since it sounds like Jeff when you say it.

Joe:)

If his full name is Joseph then Jeph would be his nickname.

Like many short names, this could have multiple origins.

In the case of Mr. Loeb, it's obviously a pet form of Joseph.

It certainly could also be just a respelling of Jeff in some cases.

Finally, it could also be a short form of Jephthah.
