Osama
Osama is an Arabic male given name meaning "lion." The name became strongly associated with Osama bin Laden, founder of al-Qaeda and mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
This association has made the name uncommon for children in Western countries, though it remains in use in Arabic-speaking regions.
