joselin is French in Origin.

Joselin is a modern orthographic variant of Jocelyn, descending from Old French Joscelin, itself from the Germanic diminutive Gautzelin (from the tribal name Gaut “Goth/Geat”). The sense is “little Gaut” or “member of the Goths/Geats.” Introduced to England by the Normans, it was borne by medieval nobles such as Joscelin de Louvain and was originally masculine; over time, especially from the 19th–20th centuries, usage shifted largely to females in English.

This Spanish-influenced spelling gained currency in Latin America and the U.S. Hispanic community, where Joselin/Joseline are common for girls, while Jocelin/Jocelyn remain cross-linguistic. Related forms include Jocelyn, Joselyn, Jocelin, Joscelin, Josselin, Joceline, Joseline, Joslin, Joslynn, and the French Josseline; nicknames include Josie, Joss, and Jo. The name carries an Old World, chivalric pedigree with a sleek modern look.
