When did the Osbirn family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Osbirn family history? The Osbirn surname itself is thought to be derived from an Old Norse personal name "Asbjorn" made up of "ąs," meaning "god" and "bjorn," or "bear." The name became Osbern in old English. Bearers of this name also came to Britain from Normandy, and over the centuries have become indistinguishable from those who predated the Norman invasion.Spelling variations of this family name include: Osborne, Osborn, Osbourne, Osbourn, Osburn, Osburne, Osbern and many more. First found in Kent where the name was already established before Duke William of Normandy triumphed at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Richard Osborn, who settled in Barbados in 1634; Thomas Osborn, who settled in Virginia in 1623; Edward, George, John, Joseph, Mary, William Osborn, who all arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1860. The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Pax in bello Motto Translation: Peace in war.
