Ozzy Origin and Meaning
The name Ozzy is a girl's name meaning "deer; divine".
This grandpa-esque nickname traditionally short for masculine names like Osmond, Oscar, or Oswald is starting to get traction on its' own, thanks to its cool, zippy sound. In the Top 1000 for boys in the UK and the US, 2023 saw it given to almost 600 American babies — 70 of which were girls.
Derived from the Old English element os meaning "God" or "divine", or from the Irish oss meaning "deer", Ozzy can also be spelled as Ozzie, or for those outside of Australia, Aussie.
If you love the idea of Ozzy but want something a bit more substantial, you could consider it as a nickname to August or Augusta, Odessa, Océane or Ocean, Ostara, Theodosia, Zosime, or Dolores.
