Osborne, and variants like Osborn, is an English surname derived from the Old Norse personal name, Asbjorn. Asbjorn comes from the elements as (god) and bjorn(bear). The name was established in England before the Norman Conquest in the Old English form of Osbern, and was later reinforced by the Norman name Osbern, which was also, no doubt, derived from the Old Norse personal name.
