Ursilla
Ursilla Origin and Meaning
Ursilla is a feminine name derived from Latin origins, being a diminutive form of Ursula, which means "little female bear" from the Latin "ursa" (bear). This elegant and somewhat antiquated name carries an air of medieval dignity and classical sophistication. While less common than Ursula, Ursilla maintains the same connection to strength and determination associated with bears in various mythologies. The name saw some limited use during the Middle Ages, particularly in connection with Saint Ursula. Today, Ursilla remains a rare choice that might appeal to parents drawn to vintage names with distinctive sounds and classical heritage. Its lilting quality and unusual nature make it stand out among more conventional feminine names while still having recognizable roots.
