Name Meaning
English: from the Middle English personal name Osekin with prosthetic H-, a pet form of Anglo-Norman French names beginning with Os- (particularly Osbert, as well as Osbern, and Osmund) + the Flemish diminutive suffix -kin. All three personal names were current in medieval Cornwall or Devon; see Osborne , Osmond , and Opie (a pet form of Osbert). Old English Ōsbeorn, Ōsbeohrt, and Ōsmund may also have contributed in a minor way to Middle English usage; Middle English Oswald is another possible source, but the name was very rare in the late 14th century. For the excrescent initial H-, compare Herrick .
