Ozvaldo is a spelling of Osvaldo, the Spanish and Italian form of Germanic Oswald — os ('god') plus weald ('power; rule'). The name spread through the medieval church with Saint Oswald of Northumbria, and became a staple in Spanish-speaking countries. The Z-spelling is a contemporary variation (said 'oz-VAHL-doh').
In the U.S. it is very rare for boys, well behind Osvaldo. Rare, Spanish, and strong.
Did you know? Oswald joins two old Germanic words — os, 'god,' and weald, 'power' — and Saint Oswald, king of Northumbria, carried it into the church. Spanish reshaped it as Osvaldo, and Ozvaldo is a modern spelling of that (said 'oz-VAHL-doh').
