History & Origin
Joselynne is a variant spelling of Jocelyn and Joselyn, from the medieval Germanic Gautzelin, linked to the Gaut tribal name and spread by a Breton saint. Originally a man's name, it became chiefly feminine in the twentieth century, and Latino families favored Jose- spellings. Joselynne appears in United States records from the mid-nineteen-nineties and reached its small high in the mid-two-thousands. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
A girl named Joselynne from that peak would be a teenager or young adult now. The name reads as a decorated late-century form; the tidier Jocelyn and Joselyn spellings prevailed, and Joselynne stays rare.
