Oscar (given name)
Oscar or Oskar is a masculine given name derived from the Irish language.〔
==Etymology==
The name may be derived from two elements in Irish: the first, ''os'', means "deer"; the second element, ''cara'', means "friend". The name is borne by a character in Irish mythology—Oscar, grandson of Fionn Mac Cumhail. The name was popularised in the 18th century by James Macpherson, creator of 'Ossianic poetry'. Today the name is associated with Scandinavia because Napoleon was an admirer of Macpherson's work and gave the name to his godson, Joseph Bernadotte, who later became Oscar I, King of Sweden. Consequently, at the time many Swedes were named Oscar. The name was given to more than a half-dozen members of Scandinavian royal houses.
The given name ''Oscar'' does also derive from the Old English ''Ōsgār'', which is of an entirely different origin (from two Old English elements meaning "god" and "spear").〔.〕
The surname ''McCusker'' originates as an Anglicised form of the Gaelic ''Mac Oscair''. The latter surname may originate from ''Oscar'', or else from a Gaelicised form of the Old Norse ''Ásgeirr'' (a personal name itself composed of the elements meaning "god" and "spear").〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=McCusker )〕
