Jozelyn is in Origin.
Jozelyn is a modern American respelling of Jocelyn, a name that came through Old French Joscelin from the Germanic Gautselin, a diminutive built on Gaut-, the tribal name of the Geats/Goths. The core sense is "little Gaut/Geat," often broadened to "one of the Goths." Used for men in the Middle Ages and later adopted for women, it is now chiefly feminine in English-speaking countries.
Brought to England by the Normans, the name appears with medieval figures such as Joscelin de Louvain and Bishop Jocelin of Wells. After a modern revival, spellings with -lyn surged in the late 20th century; Jozelyn reflects contemporary phonetic and stylistic trends favoring z. Close variants include Jocelyn, Joselyn, Joslin, Jocelyne (French), Joseline, Joscelin, and Josselin; related surnames and place names share the same root. Common short forms are Jo, Josie, Joss, and Lyn.
