The name Josselin is a boy's name of French origin meaning "member of the Gauts tribe".

While the Jocelyn spelling has largely shifted into girl name territory in English speaking countries, in France, it remains a masculine option, albeit a slightly dated one, having fallen out of the Top 500 in the early 2000s. Josselin is one of the many spelling variations, popular in France between the 70s and 90s, and derived from the name of a Germanic tribe, the Geats or Gauts.

Also appearing as a French place name, Josselin has been notably borne by (retired) tennis player Josselin Ouanna.
