Given the information we have thus far, the most logical explanation without trying to "reinvent the wheel" is that Ozpin existed prior to this tradition. Another possibility, drawing on his allusion to Oscar Diggs is that Remnant is like Oz and Ozpin is from another world. However, that would mean altering the history of the Dorothy character they are apparently considering introducing. Because if Dorothy's characterization remains true as Oscar Diggs' characterization may have, then she would be from the same world and thus not follow the naming rules which, again, contradicts Monty's god-like decree that Ozpin is the only character to not follow said rules. Even by that logic, there is not reason to believe there are not people old enough to have been born prior to the war. I would like to think it is something other than "he is really old" because it does not seem to fit unless we make some assumption about his vitality.
