Oscar

Oscar or Oskar is a masculine given name derived from either Irish or Proto-Germanic. The name may be derived from two elements in Irish: the first, os, means "deer"; the second element, car, means "loving", thus deer-loving one or the like. The name is borne by a character in Irish mythology—Oscar, grandson of Fionn Mac Cumhaill. In Old English, "os" means "god" and "gar" means "spear", thus "spear of god".
