Meaning and history
Osborn comes from the Old English elements os meaning “god” and beorn meaning “warrior” or “man.” In Anglo-Saxon England, the related Norse form Ásbjǫrn was also used, and after the Norman Conquest the Norman cognate Osbern was introduced. The name was occasionally revived in the 19th century, partly through a surname derived from the given name.
