Meaning & History
The Polish surname Ozga, originating in the 15th century, derives from the Polish word "ozga," denoting a young tree or sapling, especially a willow. Variations such as "Ożga" reflect regional dialectal differences and linguistic shifts. Historical records indicate its presence in Lublin court documents and later in the Tarnów region during the Renaissance. Notable bearers include the Polish nobleman Jan Ozga and the interwar-era writer Zofia Ozga.
