Meaning:Little she bear
Ursula is a feminine name of Latin origin, imploring caution against quick assumptions. Translated from the Latin ursa, Ursela means "little she-bear"—adding a notable vulnerability to an otherwise ferocious being. Some might recogise this sweet moniker from the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, which is also known as “The Great Bear,” in the Greek myth, Callisto. As a little bear, Ursula encourages baby to welcome curiosity and never accept anything at face value.
