Archives"Beary" names
Good morning/afternoon/evening. I am writing this message because I have a question.
I have observed that in several European cultures exist na,es meaning "bear":
Björn and Bjørn (Scandinavian)
Bear (English)
Ursus, Ursa, Ursula (Latin and Medieval Latin)
Orso, Orsa, Ursula (archaic Italian)
There also are names compounded by these ones and other elements, such as Asbjörn and Arthur.
I am asking you why people used and are used to name their children after bears, which were considered scary animals in several cultures.
Thank you to the ones who will answer.
