masculine · English origin
Osborn is an Old English name composed of the elements os, meaning "god," and beorn, meaning "warrior" or "man," giving the overall sense of "divine warrior." The name was in use among the Anglo-Saxons before the Norman Conquest and was also carried into England by Scandinavian settlers, as the Old Norse cognate Ásbjörn shares the same two elements. It remained in modest use through the medieval period and survives today primarily as a surname. Related forms include Osborne, Osbourne, and the Norse Asbjorn.
