Bismillah

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)



Ozyar has no meaning. It should be عزير, Uzair, which is a name of a Prophet.

A good name has good effect and a bad name has bad effect. Therefore, we should keep a good name.

Abu Darda (RadhiyAllahu Anhu) narrates that Prophet (Sallalllahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, "People will be called by their names and their fathers' names on the Day of Qiyamah, so keep a good name." (Abu Dawud, Mishkat Pg.408)



And Only Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.
