Orsaline

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Latin

Meaning: Little she-bear

A beautiful variant of Ursula, Orsaline is also a feminine Latin name with a meaning of "little she-bear." Across various TV shows and movies, Ursula has popped up regularly, most notably as the witch and Ariel's nemesis in the film The Little Mermaid. It was also the name of Phoebe's twin sister in the long-running 90s and 2000s sitcom Friends. Baby Orsaline may see their name in bright lights someday, but until then, your little she-bear can focus all energy on perfecting their bear hugs.
