Ozzy is a modern take on a range of traditional names such as Oswald, Osborn, and Osmond. The double z in the middle gives the name a zip that freely rolls off the tongue. The name has English and Old Norse roots, with translations including “God’s power,” “God’s protection,” and “bear god.” Perhaps the most famous person to bear the name Ozzy is former Black Sabbath frontman turned early reality star, Ozzy Osbourne. The legendary rocker perfectly mirrors the name Ozzy as he’s someone who has gone on his own path, soar to dizzy heights but has remained down to earth. If you’re looking for a modern take on a classic name, Ozzy is the way to go.
