Oslac

Oslac is the old English name variant of a common Germanic name, the old north. Asleikr , Latinized in a West Franconian source Ansleicus (presumably ahd. * Ansleich ) means. Etymologically, the first component of the name Os- , As- is related to the gods of the Asen , the second, however, to the Germanic word * laikaz , the Gothic laiks "dance", ancient north. leikr "game, string game, fighting game" and oldgl. lac means "game, dance, offering" (compare also Old High German leich "melody, tone"), which is why the name in the original Germanic meaning probably indicates a special relationship of the wearer to the cult of the Aesir.
