Meaning & History

(female), (male) Now normally a girl's name, but in earlier times more often given to boys. It is a transferred use of the English surname, which in turn is derived from an Old French masculine personal name introduced to Britain by the Normans in the form Joscelin. This was originally a derivative, Gautzelin, of the name of a Germanic tribe, the Gauts. The spelling of the first syllable was altered because the name was taken as a double diminutive (with the Old French suffixes -el and -in) of Josce (see Joyce).

Variants: Jocelyne, Joscelyn, Joselyn, Josceline, Joslyn (female).

Short form: Joss.
