What does Ozzie mean?
2 syllables

Ozzie is a nickname most often short for Oswald or Oscar. Oswald comes from Old English, combining os, "god," and weald, "power" or "rule." Oscar's roots are less settled, though it's frequently traced to the Irish os, "deer," and cara, "friend."

It has an easygoing, slightly scruffy charm, at home on a pet with a laid-back personality and a bit of quiet dignity. Short, friendly, and easy to call out at the dog park.
