joslynne is English, French in Origin.

Joslynne is a modern, ornamental spelling of Joslyn/Jocelyn, which descends from Old French Joscelin. That name ultimately traces to the medieval Germanic Gauzlin (also Gautzelin), where the diminutive -lin/-lein is attached to gauz/gaut, referring to the Goths or the Gauts/Geats. The most accepted meaning is “little Goth” or “member of the Gauts.” Through Norman transmission, the name also intersected with the Breton-rooted place and surname Josselin, reinforcing its medieval currency in France and England.

Brought to England after the Norman Conquest, Jocelyn was predominantly masculine in the Middle Ages and later survived as a surname before reemerging as a feminine given name in the 19th and 20th centuries. Joslynne reflects late-20th-century Anglophone taste for doubled letters and a final -e. Related forms include Jocelyn, Jocelyne, Jocelynn, Josselyn, Josslyn, Joslyn, Joslynn, Joslin, and Jocelin; nicknames include Joss, Josie, and Lynne.
