Ursula (given name)
Ursula is a feminine given name in several different languages. The name is derived from a diminutive of the Latin ursa, which means "bear". The name has been rather uncommon in the English-speaking world, although its use has been recently influenced by the Swiss-born actress Ursula Andress. Urszula is the Polish version of the name; Uršulė is the Lithuanian version; Orsolya is the Hungarian version.People
