What is the meaning for the name Osman, where did it originate anyway?

Answer 1

Turkish:Osman Gazi or Osman Bey or I.Osman or Osman Sayed II) was the leader of the Ottoman Turks, and the founder of the dynasty that established and ruled the Ottoman Empire. The Empire, named for him, would prevail as a regional powerhouse for over six centuries.

Osman declared the independence of his own small kingdom from the Seljuk Turks in 1299. The westward drive of the Mongol invasions had pushed scores of Muslims toward Osman's Anatolian principality, a power base that Osman was quick to consolidate. As the Byzantine Empire declined, the Ottoman Empire rose to take its place.

in other words----
Osman was the ruler of Turkish frontier warriors in the service of the Seljuks.

He established a principality in Anatolia, from where he waged warfare against the Byzantines. He conquered Bursa on the Asiatic shore opposite Constantinople, proclaimed himself Sultan and established the Ottoman empire. The name of the empire derives from the Arabic form 'Uthman' of his name.
