Urson Origin and Meaning

The name Urson is a boy's name.

Urson is a masculine name of medieval origin, derived from the Latin 'ursus' meaning 'bear.' It functions as a diminutive or variant of the name Urso, which was used in medieval England and France. This name evokes the strength and powerful qualities associated with bears in European folklore and symbolism. Urson appears in historical records from the Middle Ages but fell from common usage in modern times. The name carries an old-world charm with its distinctive sound and clear etymology. While exceedingly rare today, Urson might appeal to parents interested in ancient naming traditions or seeking animal-inspired names with historical precedent rather than modern inventions.
