Ursina
Origin:Swiss
Meaning:Little female bear
"Ursina is a feminine Swiss-German and Romansh name of Latin origin, meaning ""little female bear."" Ursina derives from Latin ursa and urs, sharing the same etymology as the names of the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. As your little cub grows into their mighty paws, this name will help them embrace their fierce side. It can also serve as a reminder that hibernating (i.e., having a good snooze and taking life day by day) will fuel their next adventure. "
