Who knew one little letter could transform a classic name like Jocelyn? Add an extra 'n' and a sprinkle of magic, and you've got its more sophisticated sibling, Jocelynn. This girl's name—originally Joscelin—has been around for centuries and was brought to Britain by the Normans. Its Old German and Old French origins inspired its meaning, "a member of the German tribe, the Gauts." If you're looking for something rare and worldly, Jocelynn's a perfect choice.
