Ausar is Egyptian in Origin.

Ausar is a modern English transliteration of the ancient Egyptian theonym conventionally written as wsjr, better known in its Greek form as Osiris. Scholars disagree on the exact etymology, but it is often glossed as "the powerful one" or "mighty," with other proposals linking it to roots for authority or to expressions involving the eye and the throne. In myth, Ausar/Osiris is the god of regeneration, the afterlife, and fertile renewal, giving the name associations of rebirth, order, and endurance.

While the theonym appears throughout Pharaonic texts, Ausar as a personal given name emerges chiefly in the 20th century among African and diasporic communities reclaiming Kemetic heritage, and has since seen use in the United States. Adoption grew through Afrocentric cultural movements, including the Ausar Auset Society. Common variants include Asar, Ausir, Usir, and Wesir; the Hellenized counterpart is Osiris, and the related feminine is Auset/Aset (Isis).
