Borrowed from Ottoman Turkish عثمان (osmân), from Arabic عُثْمَان (ʕuṯmān). Doublet of Uthman and Ottoman. Widely used as an anglicization of cognate names across the Islamic world, including Somali Cismaan, Persian عثمان (usmān /osmân), Malay Usman, and even Arabic عُثْمَان (ʕuṯmān) itself.

Inherited from Middle English, from Old Norse Ásmundr, from áss (“a god”) + mund (“protection, hand”).
