What does Oso mean?
2 syllables

Oso is simply the Spanish word for "bear," used as a name for pets whose size or shaggy coat brings the animal to mind.

Oso suits a big, cuddly presence — a pet who's more gentle giant than fierce predator, happiest curled up close to their people. It's a name that's short, warm, and easy to say.
