The names " John Doe" for males, " Jane Doe" or " Jane Roe" for
females, or " Jonnie Doe" and " Janie Doe" for children, or just " Doe"
non-gender-specifically are used as placeholder names for a party whose
true identity is unknown or must be withheld in a legal action, case, or
discussion. The names are also used to refer to acorpse or hospital patient
whose identity is unknown. This practice is widely used in the United
States and Canada, but is rarely used in other English-speaking countries
including the United Kingdom itself, from where the use of "John Doe" in
a legal context origi-nates. The names Joe Bloggs or John Smith are used
in the UK instead, as well as in Australia and New Zealand.
John Doe is sometimes used to refer to a typical male in other contexts as
well, in a similar manner to John Q. Public, known in Great Britain as Joe
Public, John Smith or Joe Bloggs. For example, the first name listed on a
form is often John Doe, along with a fictional address or other fictional
information to provide an example of how to fill in the form. The name is
also used frequently in popular culture, for example in the Frank Capra
film Meet John Doe. John Doe was also the name of a 2002 American
television series.
