Jocelyn

Jocelyn is a surname and first name. It is a unisex (male/female) name. Variants include Jocilyn, Joscelyn, Joscelin, Josceline, Joseline, Jocelin, Jocelyne, Jocelynne, Jocelynn, Joslin, Joslyn, Joclyn, Joselyn, Joselyne, "'Jocylen"' and Josslyn; people who have this name may find it is often misspelled by others. The name may derive from Josselin, a locality in Brittany, France, and was introduced to England after the Norman Conquest. It may also derive from the Germanic name Gauzlin, also spelled Goslin. It is Latinized as Iudocus or Judocus, from Breton Iodoc, diminutive of iudh (“lord”).

In French, the spelling "Jocelyn" is exclusively male. The female counterpart is spelled "Jocelyne".

The Irish name Oisdealbh was originally a translation of Jocelyn, to gaelicize Jocelyn de Angulo's given name. His Ireland-based descendants bore the surname Mac Oisdealbhaigh (son of Oisdealbh), which is better known in its anglicized form Costello.

Official

An official is someone who holds an office (function or mandate, regardless whether it carries an actual working space with it) in an organization or government and participates in the exercise of authority (either his own or that of his superior and/or employer, public or legally private).

A government official or functionary is an official who is involved in public administration or government, through either election, appointment, selection, or employment. A bureaucrat or civil servant is a member of the bureaucracy. An elected official is a person who is an official by virtue of an election. Officials may also be appointed ex officio (by virtue of another office, often in a specified capacity, such as presiding, advisory, secretary). Some official positions may be inherited. A person who currently holds an office is referred to as an incumbent.

The word official as a noun has been recorded since the Middle English period, first seen in 1314. It comes from the Old French official (12th century), from the Latin officialis ("attendant to a magistrate, public official"), the noun use of the original adjective officialis ("of or belonging to duty, service, or office") from officium ("office"). The meaning "person in charge of some public work or duty" was first recorded in 1555. The adjective is first attested in English in 1533, via the Old French oficial.
