Oussama Ziade
Osama ( ar, أسامة, ), alternatively Oussama and Usama, is an Arabic masculine given name. The name derives from the Arabic stem اسم A-S-M Alif Sin Mim "name" and means more or less "the one with a name". It is one of many Arabic male given names for "lion", the lion being considered as an animal with fame. From this point of view, ''sama'' is equivalent of the Latin name ''Augustus (given name), Augustus'', "majestic". In Hebrew the root is reduced to שם from Proto-Semitic *šim-, from Proto-Afroasiatic *(ʔi-)sim- ("name"), each denoting some aspect of the animal. In popularity, the name has declined drastically since 2001, mainly due to negative associations with al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden.
