Meaning and background
The story behind Teddybear
A teddy bear is a soft toy bear, the familiar stuffed animal whose name became associated with US president Theodore Roosevelt. Teddybear is a playful compound rather than an independently attested traditional given name. It may suggest a beloved toy or an affectionate nickname, but the word provides no objective evidence about the dog’s size or coat.
