Meaning and history
Ozzie is an English diminutive of names beginning with Os-, including Oswald, Osborn, and occasionally Oscar. These source names have different origins: Oswald means “god’s power,” Osborn means “divine bear,” and Oscar has debated Irish and Germanic histories. Ozzie therefore has no single universal meaning. It is also used independently. Notable bearers include American baseball player Ozzie Smith and Cuban-American baseball player and manager Ozzie Guillén.
