History & Origin

Ozi leans on Hebrew oz, 'strength; might' — the source of Uzi ('my strength') and Uziel ('God is my strength'). In practice it also serves as a friendly short form of Oscar, Osvaldo or Osman, and as an independent modern coinage. Because those roads meet, the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'OH-zee').

In the U.S. it is very rare for boys. Rare, short, and strong.

Did you know? Hebrew oz means 'strength; might' — the root behind Uzi and Uziel. Ozi carries that sense, though it also works simply as a short form of Oscar or Osvaldo, so the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'OH-zee').
