To know the origin of the name of the Oscars, we have to go back to 1929, when at first, the award did not have its own name. At that time, the film industry in the US referred to the award as: The Academy statuette, The golden trophy or Statuette of merit.
There are many legends around creation that are present to this day; however, the version of the Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences itself, which is on its official website, points out that the main responsible for emphasizing the awards held today was the The Academy's librarian, Margaret Herrick.
Later, in 1945, she became executive director until 1971, some time after her assent, she was in charge of baptizing the prestigious statuette as Oscar, stating that “He looked like his uncle Oscar”.
Since then, the Academy began to refer to the award in that way informally, it was until 1934 that the name became popular, when the renowned columnist, Sidney Skolsky used it in his column to talk about the “Best Actress” Award that he had won, Katharine Hepburn. It wasn't until 1939 when the Academy officially used the term The Oscar.
