Osbon is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of English origin. It is derived from the Old English word 'osberh', which is composed of two elements: 'os' meaning 'divine' or 'god' and 'beorh' meaning 'bear'. Therefore, Osbon can be interpreted as "divine bear". The name has not been extensively used throughout history, making it quite unique. It was not among the top 1000 baby names in recent years, according to data from the Social Security Administration. Despite its rarity, Osbon has a strong and powerful sound, much like the animal it references, which might appeal to parents seeking an unusual yet significant name for their child.
"The name Osbon saw a steady increase in popularity between 1915 and 1929, with a peak of nine births recorded in 1927. Over this period, there were a total of thirty Osbons born."
