Ossian
Ossian (; Irish Gaelic/Scottish Gaelic: ''Oisean'') is the narrator and purported author of a cycle of epic poems published by the Scottish poet James Macpherson, originally as ''Fingal'' (1761) and ''Temora (poem), Temora'' (1763), and later combined under the title ''The Poems of Ossian''. Macpherson claimed to have collected word-of-mouth material in Scottish Gaelic language, Scottish Gaelic, said to be from ancient sources, and that the work was his translation of that material. Ossian is based on Oisín, son of Fionn mac Cumhaill (anglicised to Finn McCool), a legendary bard in Irish mythology.

The work was internationally popular, translated into all the literary languages of Europe, and was highly influential both in the development of the Romanticism, Rom ...

Ossian (given Name)
Ossian is an Anglicised form of the Irish ''Oisín'' and the Scottish Gaelic ''Oisein''. The latter names are derived from a byname constructed from the element ''os'' ("stag"). Another Anglicised form of ''Oisín'' is '' Osian''. ''Ossian'' was one of several names popularised by the romantic works of James Macpherson (died 1796), composer of so-called Ossianic poetry. In consequence, it and other Ossianic names—such as ''Malvina'', ''Minona'', ''Orla'', ''Oscar'', and '' Selma''—were enthusiastically adopted in Scandinavia in the nineteenth century. The specific adoption of ''Ossian'' in Denmark does not appear to have been a direct result of the works of Macpherson, however, but owes its popularity there as an import from Sweden. In this way ''Ossian'' is similar to the Ossianic names ''Oscar'' and ''Selma'' which were introduced into Denmark by Swedish immigrants. Fellows-Jensen (2006) pp. 134–136.
