The name Jocosa is a girl's name of English origin meaning "lord; humorous, merry, playful".

Bright and jubilant but sophisticated too, Jocosa is a Medieval variant of the mid-century favorite Joyce. While Joyce started out as Latinization of a Breton name meaning "lord", it has since come to be associated with the word "rejoice", and similarly, Jocosa has been linked to <em>jocosus</em>, meaning "merry, playful, joking".

As rare as Jocosa may be, it offers familiar nicknames like Jo, Josie, Coco, and Cosy, while also feeling similar to Jocasta, just without Oedipus associations.
