Oskari

Oskari is the Finnish form of Oscar, a name with roots in Old Norse or Old Irish. The Old Norse interpretation derives it from the elements áss, meaning god, and herr, meaning army or warrior, while the Old Irish reading connects it to the name Osgar, combining os, meaning deer, with cara, meaning friend. The name gained wide currency across Scandinavia and beyond partly through the fame of Oscar, son of the legendary Gaelic hero Oisín in the Fenian Cycle, and later through several Scandinavian royals. Related forms include Oscar, Oskar, and Osgar.
