    Oscar

    GENDER: Masculine
    USAGE: English, Irish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Irish Mythology
    PRONOUNCED: AHS-kər (English) [key]
    Meaning & History
    Possibly means "deer lover", derived from Gaelic os "deer" and cara "lover". Alternatively, it may derive from the Old Englishname OSGAR or its Old Norse cognate ÁSGEIRR, which may have been brought to Ireland by Viking invaders and settlers. In Irish legend Oscar was the son of the poet Oisín and the grandson of the hero Fionn mac Cumhail.
    This name was popularized in continental Europe by the works of the 18th-century Scottish poet James Macpherson. Napoleon was an admirer of Macpherson, and he suggested Oscar as the second middle name of his godson, who eventually became king of Sweden as Oscar I. Another notable bearer was the Irish writer and humourist Oscar Wilde (1854-1900).

    Mine is boring.

    But it may explain why I like Theatre.

    It was apparently first popularised by Shakespear, as he used a variant in one of his players.
    It soon went on to become to most common name ever imo as there are so many people in my school with that name, like, literally, I've met 7-8 people with my name just in my year levels (primary and high school).
    It is a stupid name which no one should ever have ok bye.

    USAGE: English, Biblical
    OTHER SCRIPTS: יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Ancient Hebrew)
    PRONOUNCED: JAH-shə-wə (English), JAW-shwə (English) [key]


    From the Hebrew name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Yehoshu'a) meaning "YAHWEH is salvation". Joshua was one of the twelve spies sent into Canaan by Moses, as told in the Old Testament. After Moses died Joshua succeeded him as leader of the Israelites. As an English name, Joshua has been in use since the Protestant Reformation.
    The name Jesus comes from a Greek translation of the Aramaic short form יֵשׁוּעַ (Yeshu'a), which was the real name of Jesus.
