Osborn

Of Old Norse origins, Osborn is a masculine name, meaning “bear god.” While it can also be spelled as Osborne, Osbourne, and Osbern, it’s been in recorded use as a given name, surname, and even middle name since the 16th century. In Norse mythology, the bear is an important symbol believed to imbue the clan with bravery, so much so that before going to battle, the warriors were known to channel the bear’s spirit to become invincible. So if you’d like your cub to grow up strong and proud, the name Osborn is a compelling choice.
