Orsola Origin and Meaning

The name Orsola is a girl's name of Italian origin meaning "little female bear".

Orsola is chic in Italy in a way that Ursula is not in the U.S. And English speakers will inevitably hear this chic, sleek name as Ursula, condemned to purgatory as the name of the hideous sea-witch who terrorized Disney's Little Mermaid.
