    Name Meaning

    French, Walloon, English (at least in part of French Huguenot origin), and Channel Islands (Jersey; of French Huguenot origin): from a pet form of the personal name Gosse, Josse (see Goss ). The medieval English name has probably died out and was later reintroduced to Britain by French Huguenot immigrants. Compare Gossett .

    History: This surname is listed in the (US) National Huguenot Society's register of qualified Huguenot ancestors and also in the similar register of the Huguenot Society of America. The Huguenot ancestor, listed in both registers, was Jean Gosset from Normandy, who fled to the Isle of Jersey in 1685. See also Gossett .
