History & Origin

Joslynne is a contemporary respelling of Jocelyn, adding a soft -nne tail to the -lyn ending that grew so fashionable for girls. It reflects the trend of dressing a settled name in a more ornate spelling.

It appears in United States records from the early nineteen-nineties and reached its small peak in the late two-thousands before easing off, always rare beside Jocelyn. A girl named Joslynne from that peak is in her mid-teens today, a marker of the -lyn spelling wave.

Did you know? Jocelyn began as a boys' name in the Middle Ages and only became mainly a girls' name in the twentieth century, a switch that Joslynne now inherits.
