Orssa

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Scandinavian

Meaning: Little she-bear

With their curious eyes, tiny paws, and adorable mischief, your little one could almost be mistaken for a bear cub. As you embark on this exciting adventure with your newborn, consider the equally playful, mischievous, and charming Orssa. This girl's name is a variant of Orsa and its male counterpart Orson, an Italian twist on the Latin Ursa. Orssa also has its cute claws in Scandinavian and Latin, which links to Ursula, a name synonymous with Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Derived from the Latin ursus, which means "bear," and ursa ("she-bear,") Orssa captures the cuddly charm of sweetness, much like the bear it is named after.
