Combination name, likely from Jocelyn and Marcella
Jocell is a modern invented name, most likely created as a blend of the Germanic name Jocelyn, meaning 'a member of the Gauts tribe,' and the Latin name Marcella, meaning 'warlike.' It may also be used as a diminutive or variant of the Spanish name Jocelyne. Because of its rarity, it lacks a singular historical etymology and is often chosen for its unique sound.
