'''Osborne''', along with '''Osbourne''' and '''Osborn''', is an adaptation of '''Asbjørn''', an [[old Norse]] ([[viking]]) name which is pronounced "awsbyern." In Norse, the name means "God Bear", which is most likely a reference to the colossal [[Ursus spelaeus]], an ancient bear that roamed the plains of [[Europe]] and died out about 10,000 years ago after the end of the last ice age.
