Oscar

The name Oscar has both Irish and Nordic roots. Oscar is formed from ‘os’, which means ‘deer’, and ‘car’, meaning ‘friend’, ‘loving’ or ‘close’. Therefore, the meaning of Oscar can be translated as ‘a friend of the deer’, or ‘the deer lover’. According to the Irish legend, Oscar was one of their mightiest warriors and the grandson to the head of the Fianna, who were a group of famously fierce hunters and warriors. Oscar might also have taken its meaning from the Old English word ‘osgar’. This is taken from the Old Norse name ‘Ásgeirr‘, meaning ‘God’s spear’. This was believed to have been introduced to Ireland by the Viking settlers. Through time there have been many famous Oscars, including the Irish poet Oscar Wilde, 'Star Wars' actor Oscar Isaac and WWE star and professional wrestler Óscar Gutiérrez, better known as Rey Mysterio. Oscar is a common name in many European countries, but especially England, where it was the 10th most popular boys' name in 2019.

Lucky

Oscar lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
