I suspect this would be Joyce / Joice (possibly Joy) ; as in Joyous, Jesting, Cheerful, to be the closest.... however open for other suggestions !

I have just added a list of translations of Latin names to the Miscellaneous category on the links & resources page. Wouldn't you just know it? Jocosae isn't on there!
