Oswald
About
Meaning
A male name. Old English Osweald, compound of os ‘a god’, and weald ‘power’. There was a corresponding Norse name Asvald. St Oswald (605-42), King of Northumbria, and St Oswald (d. 992), Archbishop of York, no doubt helped to establish the popularity of the name, which has never (like most of the Old English names in Os-) gone out of use.About
