From the Swedish royal name Oscar, Oskar in the 19th century.
Pronunciation
Proper noun
Oskari
- a male given name
1982, Teuvo Saavalainen, Velipoika löi kerran, Gummerus, →ISBN, page 223:Oskari tuli mieleeni siitä, että tuonikäiset miehet olivat äidin kotikylässä enimmäkseen Oskareita: oli Tokkolan Oskari, Rinssilän Oskari, Jaakkolan Oskari sekä muita, varmaan Ruotsin kuninkaan mukaan ristittyinä. Ennen puhuttiin ja puhutaan kenties monessa kyläkunnassa vieläkin oskarinkokoisista pojista, ilmeisesti muistona ajalta jolloin koko Oskarien lauma oli alun toisellakymmenellä tai niillä main, pyörimässä isojen poikien sekä aikuisten miesten jaloissa ja keksimässä kolttosia.- Oskari came to my mind since many of the men of that age in my mother's home village were mostly Oskaris: Oskari Tokkola, Oskari Rinssilä, Oskari Jaakkola and others, probably named after the king of Sweden. We used to talk about - and in some villages they still probably do - of 'Oscar-sized' boys, probably to reminisce of the times when the herd of Oskaris were still in their early teens or so, bustling among the larger boys and adult men and doing their shenanigans.
1991, Anu Kaipainen, Kuin kuulla kummultansa, WSOY, →ISBN, page 68:Ei nämä nykynuoret enää lapsiakaan tee. Vaikka eipä silti, kyllä minnuu on siinä suhteessa onnistanut: on jo yks tyttärenpojanpoika, se Oskari Simeoni.
―Mukava että antavat nykyään lapsilleen vanhoja kunnon nimiä. Mun ainoo lapsenlapsi on Tiia-Riina. Se on melkein ku riiarinna.- Kids these days don't have children anymore. Even then, I've had one stroke of luck: my daughter's son has a son, that Oskari Simeoni.
It's nice that they still give their children proper old names. My only grandchild is Tiia-Riina. Almost like riiarinna.
