Yoseline is Germanic, Spanish in Origin.

Yoseline is a Spanish-influenced respelling of Jocelyn/Joseline, ultimately tracing to Old French Joscelin, from the Germanic diminutive Gautzelin (Gauzlin). The root gaut refers to the Geats/Goths, yielding the traditional meaning “little Goth” or “from the Gauts.” Carried to England by the Normans, the name was common for men in the Middle Ages and later re-emerged as primarily feminine in the English-speaking world in the 19th–20th centuries. The Y- initial reflects Hispanic phonology and orthography.

Variants include Yoselin, Yoselyn, Joselin, Joseline, Joselyn, Jocelin, and Jocelyn; French Josseline is older. Diminutives and nicknames include Josie, Joss, and Yosi. Usage is strongest across Latin America and in U.S. Latino communities from the 1990s onward, favored for its gentle rhythm and international feel. Typical Spanish pronunciation is yo-se-LEEN, though English speakers often say JOSS-eh-lin/JOSS-lin depending on spelling.
