Meaning and background
The story behind Ursa
Ursa has a precise classical connection: Latin *ursa* means a female bear and also supplied an ancient Roman feminine name. It appears in astronomy in Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, the names of the Great Bear and Little Bear constellations. Those starry associations are secondary to the Latin word itself. Ursa offers a short name with a documented meaning rather than a loosely invented animal symbolism.
