Jack Osbourne, son of the late heavy metal legendary π€rocker Ozzy Osbourne (born John Michael Osbourne) aka the "Prince of Darkness" — has just had his own "Princess of Darkness" — with the birth of daughter named after her grandfather: πOzzy π
Her full name is πOzzy Matilda Osbourne. πNameberryπ says, "Ozzy is derived from the Old English element os meaning "God" or "divine", or from the Irish oss meaning "deer". This grandpa-esque nickname traditionally short for masculine names like Osmond, Oscar, or Oswald is starting to get traction on its' own, thanks to its cool, zippy sound."
Behind the Name says Ozzy is a variant of πOzzie (which is a diminutive of πOsborn). BTN points out, "a famous bearer was the British musician Ozzy Osbourne (1948-2025), though in his case it was a nickname based on his surname." Biography.com writes, "he acquired the nickname Ozzy in elementary school, where he struggled with dyslexia."
I'm not an Ozzy Osbourne fan but I am a fan of his granddaughter being named πOzzy after him ππΎππΎ — it's a very sweet tribute π₯° plus a pretty cool π name to carry as a girl.
Some Ozzy the musician fan comments on πOzzy the πΆbaby girlπ:
"The most perfect name she could have ever received!!"
"I love her name I'm sure Ozzy is smiling."
"The sweetest name. Her Papa's gotta be so tickled watching over."
"Yay, we have another Ozzy Osbourne! The world is right again."
