Ozeasz
Ozeasz carries into Polish from Hebrew, the name of the prophet whose book sits among the twelve minor prophets, and it means "salvation". Most Poles have never met one: it's a rare, formally biblical name given only to boys, and no newborns took it last year.

What Ozeasz means
Where Ozeasz comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Ozeasz comes into Polish from Hebrew, where the older form Hoszea means salvation. It belongs first to a prophet. The Book of Hosea stands among the twelve minor prophets in the Hebrew Bible, and Polish translations name that prophet Ozeasz. A reader who meets the name meets a biblical voice.
The root behind it, y-sh-ʿ, means to save or to deliver. That same root sits inside Jozue and inside the name Jezus. Ozeasz shares a family with both, all built on the idea of rescue. The short meaning given in Polish, zbawienie, holds close to the literal sense for once.
On a school register the name reads as formal, and rare. A boy called Ozeasz is unlikely to share it with a second child in the room. The name has never been common in Poland, and it keeps that biblical distance. What holds it together is one Hebrew word for rescue, yasha.
When Ozeasz celebrates name day
Ozeasz appears 1 time in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 4 July.
Rarer dates. Only the most complete calendars add this name on these days. Most skip them, so hardly anyone celebrates then.
