This ancient name was brought to England during the Anglo-Saxon migrations and later spread with Norman influence. While Osborne is the more traditional spelling, Ozborn represents a modernized variant that maintains the strong, distinctive sound of the original.

Its strong consonants and heroic etymology give it a bold, distinctive character appealing to parents seeking an uncommon name with historical depth.
