Ursula meaning

Ursula is a caracter of one of my favorite books, "100 Years of Solitude", it is also one of my favourite names.

in southern germany they always joke 'uschi zeig mir deine muschi' (uschi/ursula show me your fanny) coz is rhymes in german

I really love being called ursula but just today i overheard somebody passionately saying how much they hated the name and they can't imagine how anybody would name their daughter this. it has really hurt my feelings, is It'such a horrible name❤️

I don't know anybody called Ursula, but I think I want to name my baby that, if its a girl.

my name is Ursula and many people laugh at it and ask why would anyone ever name their kid that. But actually I love it. It was my grandmothe's name as well.

my name is ursula and i was named after my aunt ursula. it is a wonderful name. people dont forget it

I was in my therapist's office last week & we were discussing the fact that her friend who is a meduim/psychic/shaman says I am also a meduim. I was just sitting there looking out the window and suddenly I heard the name "Ursula" in my head. I do not know what this means or why I heard that name. Anyone have any ideas❤️

My name is spelled Ersela. I have come to love the name now that I am older.

like many othe's, I didn't like my name when I was a child because no one heard of it, and everyone mispronounced or misspelled it. When I was a teenager, I remember a boy saying, "You'really got stuck, kid". But now that I am an adult, more people have heard of my name, and some compliment me because of it. Also, i've met a few othe's with my name. But they are from Germany where the name is better known.

This name is horrible for me. Being in the public I get a dozen witch jokes a day. Wake up on the wrong side of he broom stick❤️ Ever drop a house on anyone❤️ An you wiggle your nose❤️ Do you practice witch craft❤️ Stf up already.

My name is Ursula and I love my name. Even'though O got questions of 'isnt that the evil octopus❤️' Because I lived in Russia no one knew the fI'm to well. Then when I left Russia i loved my name even more as it means little she bear and i was leaving the big bear i.e. russia. I love the name to such an extent that am considering to tattoo the'star constellation with the'same name. I beli've I was named so due to the character in 100 years of solitude.

My name is Ursula. I am not even, not ugly. Yes, sometimes I regret my name, but it is a strong, ancient name and I am proud of it. Say you are an Ursula, and people look at you. Yes it is old and odd, and yes, an evil character was named it, but never insult it. It is my name, and I am proud of it.

Ugly old lady or fat cow name. Ugly witch name. I just don't like it.

My name is Ursula and I absolutely hate it. My mother named me after the actress Ursula Andres, and I have no idea what possessed her to choose such an ugly name. I wish I could change my name, but alas, it is too late to do so at this point in my life.

My name is Ursela, and I'must say growing up it was difficult to deal with having a different name that many of the other children could not pronounce correctly. But, as an adult I love my name!! I am the only Ursela (spelled with an "E") that I know and I thoroughly enjoy being able to say that my name is one of the most unique names around. It totally fits my personality!!

My daughter's name is Ursula. She is beautiful and strong and unique...just like her name. When she was little she did come to me once and say, "The'sea witch is also called Ursula." I said, yes, Disney chose that name because it is so strong, but it is also the name of a saint who saved women, a beautiful actress and a wonderful author. But most importantly, it is your name that Daddy and I chose for you because we love you so much and wanted you to have a lovely and unique name that would mean whatever you chose to make it. She has always loved the name.

hola me llamo URSULA, es un nombre que no deja indiferente, no está muy visto aunque sea un nombre antiguo, a mI'me gusta porque es un nombre con personalidad y fuerza, pero para gustos los colores

Love it! it is beautiful, it is a name that is strong and cute at the'same time. I went to St. Ursula Academy and love reading Ursula K. Le Guin. It will be my little girl's name when I have one.

HI'my name is URSULA...well all i can say is i luv my name..i think its really cute.... well i know my name is not all that popular but its doesnt meen its a bad name.... yeh lots of people pronounces it wrong but i dont care becuz im used 2 it.... And i feel really special becuz it waz my grandamas name and i jus luv being named after her....so i luv my name and nothing is goin to change that...=)

I love this name. I'm planning on naming my first daughter Ursula.

My daughter's name is Ursula. We love it! I thinks It's both feminine and strong. "Little she bear"...we liked the meaning too. It's unique, without being weird. Kind of a bummer that everyone is fixated on a Disney movie. Sigh... Oh well. Yay for all the Ursulas! :)

best name ever! i'll be calling my daughter Ursula. i don't know many pple called like that but i guess that's what makes it unique and great.

My name is Ursula and the correct way of saying it is er'sA-LA... My name is unique and in todays society thats what its about... Standing out! You gotta b different to make the world inter'sting!... Yes, as a little girl i absolutly hated the name! But now as a 23 year old i love it and i think i carry the name well! You can call me *Urss*

Named our daughter Ursula this year. Beautiful name. For strong person. Hope she'll be the one.

Usable for a guy's name, but not suitable for a girl.

ursula is da coolest name eva It's my name all my friends love my name It's da best

My name is Ursula and my brother married an Ursula. As a child I hated it because it was different but its a bond girls name'so its kinda sexy and mysterious.

I'm also from Austria. Ursula is a very common name there (if a little old-fashioned) and It's pronounced 'oor-su-lah'. Girls there with that name are usually called Uschi (pronounced 'oo-she') or Ursel ('oor-sle'). The name means 'female bear' and is derived from the latin 'ursus'.

My name is Ursula and I like my name. For anybody that does not like their name it is common in Germany to use the nickname Uschi, Ulla if you like that better use it. I have been Uschi for the last 35 years and other people love the name. It also always makes for a nice conversation.

My baby was born yesterday. We're calling her Ursula. I think It'sounds beautiful and den'tes a strong personality.

It is a beautiful name despite Disney ruining it for some people. Come on! Ursula Andress was beautiful, Ursula Le Guin is a great author and as someone mentioned it, Ursula Iguaran (100 Years of Solitude) is a great character. So many great role models, and you take a cartoon character (that has no name and a not evil in the original "Little Mermaid") to base your opinion! What a restricted brain!

It's a terrific name with a lovely sound. It would be good if more people ignored the Disney connection and used the name for its beauty and different-ness.

My name is Ursula. People say my name wrong all the time and I cringe whenever'someone addresses me as "Urshala" which is a lot. My parents were going to name me Shannon (ick!) but because they worked for social services they found they removed a lot of Shannons from broken homes. In the end they decided to name me something unusual that wouldn't be associated with their work. They also wanted something that would look good in a published article and could be "taken seriously" (their words, not mine.) At school I got teased for my name. People would start to deliberately pronounce it wrong and call me Ershie instead of Ursie (my nickname.) That'said I like how witchy and mysterious this name is. Some people don't like that, but I do. It's like being called Hermione, Morgana or Elphaba. I think that if my name were Kate or Georgia I would still have been'teased because I was different. I like my name. I like how unusual it is. It's like being the main character in a movie. And I always thought it was weird that people disliked the name because of The Little Mermaid. I hated the main character's name because it reminded me of a TV aerial. (Loved the movie though.)

my name is Ursula and i've always loved it. I find it very strong but also romantic and of course unique. Apart from the odd, negative comment as a child, as an adult i've only had highly positive reactions, especially from men!

Where we live - rural Australia - absolutely noone my sister meets has heard the name before. My sisters name is Laken and as kids we used to get referred to as Bacon and Eggs. Our parents watched Santa Barbara too!

I'm 6 months pregnant with a girl, and my husband and I love the name Ursula. My family absolutely hate it because they think It's old-fashioned, but some of the most popular trendy names today aren't that new: Emily, Sarah, Abigail. Not to mention the other unique names that are out there: McKenzie, Brianna, Kaylee, Jada. So, Ursula shouldn't be made fun of in today's world. It's ADORABLE and our daughter will be unique. We're calling her Ula for a nickname.

My name is Ursula and I too did not like it as a child. I was in 4th grade when'the Little Mermaid came out with the big Octopus...needless to say, kids are mean and I was picked on A LOT which led me to hate my name. As an adult I like it ok now. I like having a unique name and people always think I'must be exotic :)

my name is Ursula I do not like it at all. it is not a popular name in Canada where i live. When i went to europe for a vacation it was popular there.

I love my name Ursula. As a child during the 70's the worst part was no one could spell or pronounce it correctly. Though I know Disney used it in 2001, they also used it in the first Parent Trap movie. It was one of the twins' friends at camp. Also George of the Jungle's beautiful girlfriend was Ursula, but no one remembers those characters. I embrace the'sea witch and have a coffee mug and other figures. Afterall, it was only a cartoon. Nothing to ruin a name or my life over.

well my name is valarie but where I'm from u dont hear it very often n whenu do they spell it like this VALERIE but i like how i spell it valarie

I dont know how I feel about my name, sometimes, I hate it because people start talking about the'stupid disney character, other times, I feel unique, I have never met another Ursula before, and so when people meet me, they never forget me because of my name, I just wish disney wouldnt have ruined my name, its such a pretty name but, now thanks to that'stupid sea witch, I sometimes just want to change it, but I cant, its who I am, and will always be

My name is Ursula. I'm 43 years old and have never hated my name or ever wanted to change it. My dad who I am a daddy's girl named me after the actress Ursula Andress. He loved her and her name'so much that he and my mom agreed to name me after her. Years later I saw The Little Mermaid and was actually thrilled my name was in it. It was so uncommon that you never heard of it in the United States. I even bought a coffee mug of Ursula the'sea witch on it with my name on it. And the movie didn't bother my daughter when she out my name with the'sea witch's name. I also have two friends named Ursula. So anyone with this name I think is blessed to have it. I wouldn't trade my name for the world.

As a child I was in Ballet class with very fine ballet masters from Russia.In my class was another little girl named Ursula. In their wonderful Russian accents the name was pronounced as "Your'-sala". It was such a beautiful sound that 45 years later the name, for me, is still filled with the'sound of breathless romance, sheer loveliness.

Ursule, my grgrgrandmother born in 1826 was French Canadian. I beli've this is the French spelling of Ursula.

I named my daughter after the actress Ursula Andress. Only much later did I find out that the'sea monster in the Disney Mermaid movies was also called Ursula. My daughter hates the name and now I regret naming her Ursula. She gets teased at school all them time. I am so miserable over what I did.

We named our baby-girl Amelie Madeleine in July 2018. Yep, some influence of the French fI'm "The Fabulous World of Amelie".

It'sounds like an old piece of fruit lying in a gravel pit down by the water next to a closed down fish and chip shop that used to be owned by a chinese couple who left their country during the'second world war!

My name is Ursula. Very popular in Europe. Love it, men here love it preferring it to my more common popular middle name. Heck with Disney ruining this pretty meaningful name.

Lovely name. We will be using it for our baby as I am mostly German and will be giving up my German last name in marriage. I would like for my daughter to have a scandinavian first name'since she will have her fathe's english last name.

My name is Ursula and I'm very glad I was to be named that. It makes me feel important. I'm the type of girl who has to be the leader'so I guess that's one good quality. My daughter, Emily, is to be due in March 2020. I'm excited!

It's actually a cute name. I find it to be very exotic, me being a writer and always looking for some inter'sting names. Of course, I'm not exactly sure if I could use this name. Whenever I think of Ursula I think of the octopus woman from The Little Mermaid. If it wasn't her name, I would give this name a full on thumbs-up.

my name is ursula. I always loved my name. especially when I found out it means "she-bear". it is oldfashioned and gets spelled and pronounced wrong all the time! only in all english-speaking countries though! I grew up in austria - never got teased about my name! I have not met many people named ursula. my folks in my home country call me ursi.

I adore the name, and It's definitely on my list of potential girl names. I always remember Pel's beautiful but difficult girlfriend in the novel "Things My Girlfriend and I have Argued About"

I ALWAYS MEET PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO PRONOUNCE IT.I' VE NEVER MET A PERSON WHO IS URSULA,I ONLY SEE THEM ON T.V OR MAGAZINES.I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHICH CORRECT WAY TO SAY THIS NAME.I'm AN AFRICAN,SO IN MY PLACE THEY ALWAYS ASK ME THE MEANING OF IT,OThe's ARE SUPRISED B/COS THEY'VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS NAME.

Am ursula Amos.infact about 95% people dat nos me do d both.they do call me orsla wt dis spelling

i keep thinking of a fat, evil octopus...of course, my generation was the one that was ruined with Disney movies.
