Greek, feminine form of AlexanderMeaning:

- Jocelyn
Origin:
GermanMeaning:
"member of the Gauts tribe"Description:
Jocelyn has gotten new life and popularity as a result of the current passion for lyn endings. Though it was a male name in medieval times, now Jocelyn couldn't sound more softly feminine.
- Josette
Origin:
French,pet form of JOSEPHINE, feminine of JOSEPHMeaning:
"Jehovah increases"Description:
One of the group of French 'ette'-ending names that emigrated to this country in the last century, though never as popular as some others, such as Claudette and Paulette--it did have a little six-year flurry here between 1967 and 1973. Josette may be feminine and flirty, but, given the choice, most parents today would prefer Josephine.
- Kelani
- Kyrielle
- Sybille
