Joseline is French in Origin.

Joseline is a contemporary feminine spelling of Jocelyn, rooted in Old French Joscelin, itself from the Germanic Gautzelin, a diminutive based on the tribal name Gaut (related to the Geats/Goths). The sense is often rendered 'little Gaut' or 'one of the Gauts,' with medieval French influence from the Breton saint’s name Josse/Judoc shaping the cluster of Joss- forms. The French place-name Josselin also reinforced the surname and given name.

Carried to England by the Normans, the name appears in medieval records chiefly for men (e.g., Jocelin of Brakelond), then shifted toward female use in English from the 17th century and rose again in the 19th-20th centuries. Joseline gained traction in North America and Latin America in the late 20th century. Variants include Jocelyn, Jocelyne, Joceline, Joselyn, Joselyne, Joslin, Joslyn, Josselin, Josseline, and Spanish Joselín; nicknames include Josie and Joss.
