(Anglo-Scand.) The Old Norse Asbiörn = Divine Bear [Old Norse ás-, divine (áss, a god) + biörn, a bear] was Anglicized Osbeorn, Osbern, Osborn [Old English ós, a god + be(o)rn, a warrior] Two famous Osberns were killed in the same battle A.D. 1054—Osbern Pentecost, the Norman, fighting for Macbeth; and Osbern, the son of Earl Siward, with his father at the head of the ultimately victorious Northumbrians.
Osbern is common in Domesday Book.
(English) Descendant of Osborn (god, man); one who came from Osborne (Aust's stream), in Wight.
This family descends from a Kentish branch of the family of Fitz-Osberne, seated in that county early in the reign of Henry VI., when Thomas Osberne appeared to a writ of Quo warranto for the Abbey of Dartford. The family had come from Essex and Suffolk, where the name is traced to Thomas Fitz-Osborne 1227-40, who granted lands to Holy Trinity, Caen (MSAN. viii. 224,229, 230,231). His grandfather, Richard Fitz-Osberne, or Fitz-Osbert, held a fief from Earl Bigot 1165, and was ancestor of the Lords Fitz-Osbert, summoned by writ 1312. Richard’s father, Stephen Fitz-Osbert, living 1152 (Mon. Angl. i. 640), was son of William Fitz-O., son of Osberne Fitz-Letard, who came to England 1066, and who held lands from Odo of Bayeux, 1086. Letard is mentioned in Normandy before the Conquest. Hence the Dukes of Leeds.
From the Old Norse, Ás-Björn; from the Danish, Osborn; in the Domesday Book, Osbern, Osba; a personal name.
