Ossama is a distinctive and unique male given name of Arabic origin, derived from the word 'Assam' which means 'strong'. It signifies robustness and resilience. This name is often found in Middle Eastern countries such as Egypt, Syria, and Iraq. Ossama was also popularized on an international scale due to its association with prominent figures like former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak's son, Alaa Mubarak, who bears this name.
"The name Ossama saw a spike in popularity between the years 2000 to 2001 with 7 and 5 births respectively, but has since declined with no more than 6 births recorded per year."
