Ozan is Turkish in Origin.
Ozan is a Turkish masculine given name from the common noun ozan, denoting a bard or minstrel-poet in the Turkic oral tradition. In Anatolia and Azerbaijan, ozans (also called aşık/ashik) preserved epic tales and moral verse, accompanying themselves on the saz; the word is attested in Old Anatolian Turkish and tied to Oghuz culture, including the Book of Dede Korkut. The name thus carries meanings of poet, troubadour, and storyteller, and connotes artistry.
As a given name it rose in 20th-century Turkey and among the diaspora. Variants are minimal: Ozan in Turkish and Azerbaijani, with informal diminutives like Ozi. Related names in sense, not form, include Aşık and Şair (“poet”), while culturally adjacent male names include Oğuz and Oğuzhan from the same Oghuz milieu. Feminine use is rare. The name travels well internationally thanks to its simple spelling and the pronunciation approximated as OH-zahn.
