Solid name, though a little bit surnamey to me.

Seventy four per cent of pollsters say this name is upper class! I agree, since it is my birth name. The only weird thing is being asked if Ozzy Osbourne is a relative. I'm pretty sure he's a distant one, but never been a fan, unfortunately.

Someone who has some very odd and ugly names on their profile said it sounds so old fashioned. That's because it is ancient and royal and I'm proud of it.

Many talented people with this surname... singers Jeffrey, Joan, the Osborne brothers gospel group, a member of Shedaisy, playwright John Osborne, and many more. It's my name and I love it!

In an old TV show from the 60s, there was a rich tennis playing snobby guy named Chatsworth OSBORN Junior. Osborne or Osbourne especially, is often used to portray rich or snobby people in movies, which is cool by me, because I'm a not rich one!

It's a wonderful old name that I get a lot of positive feedback on... most of it being that I have money! Lol I love having this for my surname, but it would be great for a boy's first name, too.

Two famous surname bearers of this name are the Spider-Man characters Norman and Harry Osborn. Both were incarnations of the super villain the Green Goblin.

The meaning of strong bear or what ever is only true for Norwegian or Germans. It is my last name and I have done considerable research.
My ancestors came from England in the 1600s. The name comes from The Isle of Wight, where, coincidentally, there is a castle named The Royal House of Osborn.
Originally the name was AUGUSTBORNE, and like many names was corrupted through usage into many spellings, Austborne, Ozborn, Osbourne, and so many more.
The English version means one who comes from the August Stream on the Isle of Wight, England

Although I like Oswald better, Osborn is still a unique name that stands out next to all of the Aidan's, Brayden's, and Jayden's. Plus Ozzie or Ozzy is the cutest nickname ever!
