Oglesbie is English in Origin.

Oglesbie is a rare surname-turned-given name of English origin. It derives from Oglesby/Ogelsby, a habitational surname formed with the Norse place‑name suffix -by, “farmstead, settlement,” attached to an Old Norse personal name, probably Uggi. The sense is “Uggi’s farm/settlement,” reflecting Viking-age naming in northern and eastern England.

As a forename, Oglesbie appears chiefly in the United States from the 19th century onward, following the custom of using family surnames as honorific given names; it is rare and essentially unisex. The surname is well established in Britain and America (notably borne by Illinois governor Richard J. Oglesby), and is traceable in medieval northern English records. Close variants include Oglesby (standard), Ogelsby, Oglesbee, Oglesbey, and Oglesbie as a modern spelling; Ogilby is sometimes confused with it but has a separate Scottish/Ulster origin.
