Oskar

The name Oskar is a Scandinavian name derived from the Old Norse words 'ós' meaning 'divine' and 'geirr' meaning 'spear'.

The name was introduced into English-speaking countries in the 19th century, but it has been a popular name in Scandinavia for much longer.

In some cultures, the name is associated with strength, courage, and bravery, perhaps due to its connection with the word 'spear'.

While the name Oskar has its roots in Norse mythology and language, it has become a widely used name in many parts of the world.
