Ursuline

Meaning of Ursuline

Ursuline is a beautiful female name with a rich history. It originates from the Latin name Ursula, which means "little bear." The name has both English and American variations, but the pronunciation remains the same in both: UR-suh-leen (/ˈɜr.sə.lin/). Ursuline is associated with strength and courage, as bears are often seen as powerful creatures. It also has religious connotations, as it refers to Saint Ursula, a Christian martyr who was known for her bravery. Although not among the most popular names in recent years, Ursuline has been given to newborns in the United States since at least 1914. Its uniqueness and timeless charm make it a wonderful choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their baby girl.
