DiMaggio was the eighth of nine children born to Sicilian immigrants, delivered by a midwife, in Martinez, California. His mother, Rosalia, named him "Giuseppe" for her brother; "Paolo" was in honor of Saint Paul, Giuseppe's favorite saint. The family moved to San Francisco when Joe was one year old.
