Oscor is of German origin, meaning "divine spear". It is a variant spelling of Oscar, which has gained popularity in recent years, particularly among those seeking unique and distinctive names for their children. The name Oscor is often associated with strength and courage, reflecting its derivation from the Old Norse elements 'os' meaning 'god' and 'haki' meaning 'spear'. It was popularized by the 19th-century poet James McNeish, who used it as a character's name in his novel "Oscor". Today, Oscor is still considered quite rare, adding to its allure for those who wish to give their child an uncommon and memorable moniker.
"Only 12 babies named Oscor were born over these two years."
