Ozro
Does anyone have any info about its origin or meaning? I saw it on a birth announcement from Texas last month, and Google brings up bunches of bearers, mostly in genealogy links with birthdates in the 19th and early 20th century in the US. - mirfak

Perhaps it is a form of the name Ozer?
3 possibilities mentioned here:
http://genealogy.familyeducation.com/surname-origin/ozer
http://names.whitepages.com/Jennifer/OzerOr Ozro could be a form of Ozero. In Russian Озеро meaning "lake".
The Illyrian word oseriates, "lakes"; akin to Old Church Slavonic ozero (Serb-Croat jezero), Lith ẽžeras, OPruss assaran, Gk Akéroun "river in the underworld"
