Ozem 
The name Ozem occurs twice in the Bible and very close together in the lineage of Perez, son of Judah. The sixth son of Jesse is named Ozem (number seven is David). The other Ozem is a son of Jerahmeel, the first-born son of Hezron. Jerahmeel's brother Ram is the ancestor of Jesse (1 Chr 2:25).
The root is not used in Hebrew scriptures, but it does occur in cognates, where it means to be angry. For a meaning of the name Ozem, it's probably the best bet.
The namer Ozem means Angry/ Anger.
