Answer 2

The link below indicates that "Oscan" was an early Italic language (along with  Etruscan, Latin, Umbrian, & others) ....  so it sounds to me like Osco must be an old name relating to the Oscan language or people.   The maps at the links below  show the Oscan area as being a large region of Southern Italy.   Osco  very probably means the same thing as "Oscan."

Answer 4

osco/ oscan being an Italian language, or drug stores in the US, are not going to have anything to do with your ancestry. The odds are 99% that these are nothing more than coincidences of similar spelling.

ANY research concerning either finding your actual ancestry, or your name, has to be based in finding legitimate records. In your case.. you would need to find documentation back on your lineage, to the point of whoever was the actual immigrant (if there was one, in fact).  The question then comes down to what records exist in Peru, or in that town/village. You simply cannot compare what is normally available to us in the developed countries and assume it is the same, in Peru.  Ancestry.com does have records for other countries, but the emphasis is on US or Europe.  They won't have records that never existed to begin with.

If you go into linquistics or word origins..I think it is fair to say that there will be words that are the same.. but the meanings or origins will be completely different.  Or. in many US names.. they are variations, and never existed before the US IN THAT FORM.  Thus, they technically are original.

Your answer lies in Peru, and in VERIFYING that one of your ancestors did actually come from somewhere else.. and where that place was.

Some information/ facts are simply NOT going to be on the internet.
