Gaut or Goth; member of the Geats tribe
Joselyne is a variant of Jocelyn, which originated as a Germanic masculine name (Gauzhelm) before becoming a popular feminine choice. It refers to the tribal name of the Gauts or Geats, the same people mentioned in the epic Beowulf. The 'y' spelling adds a modern, slightly more elaborate flair to the traditional French-influenced form.
