Jocelina

Jocelina is a Brazilian Portuguese name for girls with French and Germanic origins. As a form of Jocelyn, Jocelina continues the legacy of ancient Germanic tribes. Derived from the word Gautselin and others of similar spellings, Jocelina refers to a “Goth,” also known as “Gaut” and “Geat.” The Normans brought Joscelin and Goscelin to England as a result of the Conquest of 1066, and thanks to its melodic appeal, it has since spread and evolved in several languages. Jocelina extends this charm with a delightful -a ending—emboldened by its journey across the Atlantic ocean.
