Jossette is a unique and elegant given name of French origin. It's a feminine variant of Joseph, derived from the Hebrew 'Yosef,' which means 'he shall add.' The name Jossette was popular in France during the 19th century but has since become quite rare, making it an excellent choice for parents seeking a distinctive yet timeless name for their daughter. It rolls off the tongue smoothly, with a soft 's' sound followed by the classic French 'ette' ending. Spelling variations include Josette and Jocelette.
"Jossette experienced a peak in popularity during the late 1960s with 16 births in 1968, but declined sharply the following year to just 6 births. It saw another brief spike in the late 1990s, particularly in 1997 and 1998 with 8 and 10 births respectively. However, it has remained relatively uncommon since then, with only 5 or 6 births per year from 2000 onwards."
