Origin: German

Meaning: One of the Goths

The gender-neutral name of Joycelynn has both German and Latin roots and shares a solid bond with its relation, Jocelyn. An old-fashioned meaning that has taken a more modern turn, Joycelynn is "one of the Goths." However, this doesn't mean your little one will start dyeing their clothes black and insisting that Marilyn Manson's music is the greatest. Baby's predecessor, Jocelyn, attached the meaning of "a member of the German tribe, the Gauts," which has shifted slightly over time. According to legend, the Goths originated in southern Scandinavia in the 6th century before sailing the Baltic Sea to Germany. Your little one will have so much fun tracing back through time to learn all about Joycelynn.
