The name Ogma is believed to originate from the [[Proto-Indo-European]] root ''*ak-'' or ''*ag-'' meaning "to cut," which refers to the method in which ogham was incised into stone and wood. In Ogham, his name would be written&nbsp;{{script|Ogam|ᚑᚌᚋᚐ}}.<ref name="Jones">{{cite web |last1=Jones |first1=Mary |title=Oghma Grianainech |url=http://maryjones.us/jce/ogma.html |website=Jones's Celtic Encyclopedia |access-date=21 August 2019}}</ref>

===Epithets===
Ogma is given three epithets in Irish Gaelic tradition: 
''Grianainech'' “sun-faced” or “shining, radiant countenance” on p. 303 of the ''Táin Bó Cúailnge'' (The Cattle Raid of Cooley) and p.187 of Lebor Gabála Érenn (Book of Invasions); 
''Trenfher'' “Strongman” or “Champion” in sections 59 and 162 of the Do Cath Mag Tuired (Second Battle of Moytura); and 
''Griain-éigis'' “Shining sage or learned man” in section 12 of Foras Feasa ar Éirinn (History of Ireland). 

Many scholars have credited The Dagda's son Cermait's epithet ''Milbel'', or "honey-mouthed" or "eloquence" with Ogma, but this confusion seems to be an incorrect comparison by MacKillop [https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780198609674.001.0001/acref-9780198609674-e-937].
