Untitled

Osama means "lion" in arabic and may be considered equivalent to "Leo" (e.g., "Leonardo").

Osama / Usama

Osama is the far more common spelling.

Osama should still redirect to Osama bin Laden.

This is better titled as a dab page since it has entries other than name ones. John Cengiz talk 12:10, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Osama (disambiguation) → Osama – Osama currently redirects to Osama bin Laden. Osama is a very common name, and in the parts of the world where it is common, it is not reflexively associated with bin Laden. See Lincoln for example. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 15:00, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support the infamous one is mononymously known as "bin Laden", and per nom. Draken Bowser (talk) 15:08, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: "Adolf" is about the given name. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:09, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That seems to be quite exceptional among articles on common names. John, Kim, Marie, Alfred, Albert, Anna, Tiffany, Henry, Jack are a bunch of names that I randomly thought of, and their articles are all disambiguations. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 18:21, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
