The teddy bear is a classic symbol of childhood, is there anything more timeless? We’ve all cuddled with plush toys at some point in our lives, and there’s even a greater chance those toys had names that were equally special. It’s practically a rite of passage when you’re a child to name your teddy bear after your favorite bear. It’s never easy choosing a moniker for a toy bear, so we’ve compiled some fun ideas for bear names from pop culture, as well as some evergreen favorites that any bear would enjoy.
It is not only stuffed animals that have bear names. In order to match such a bold character, you might be searching for a moniker that is appropriately strong to go along with it. The meaning of “bear” can also be found in plenty of unique baby names. There is something beautiful about bears (and their names) – they are versatile.
Most cultures attribute some sort of significance to bears, whether it be Native American culture or mythology. Among other things, these beautiful creatures are associated with strength, courage, and family. Similarly, characters such as Winnie the Pooh and Paddington Bear have become integral parts of early childhood culture.
When President Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a black bear tied to a tree in 1902, the teddy bear became a classic toy. Morris Michtom and his wife Rose turned Roosevelt’s actions into a brilliant merchandising opportunity by selling Teddy Bears, stuffed animals honoring Roosevelt’s bravery. Having the perfect name for your special stuffed bear (or cub) has become a childhood tradition since then.
The list below is full of fierce and cuddly bear names alike that will inspire you, whether you’re looking to name your child’s new favorite toy or are simply fascinated by bears featured in popular culture.

Polar Bear Names
The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is a large carnivorous mammal that is native to the Arctic region. It is the largest land predator in the world, with adult males weighing up to 1,500 pounds (680 kilograms) and standing over 10 feet (3 meters) tall on their hind legs.
Polar bears are uniquely adapted to living in the harsh, icy environment of the Arctic. Their thick fur provides insulation from the cold, and their large, wide paws help them to walk on snow and ice without slipping. They are also powerful swimmers and can swim long distances in search of food.
Polar bears primarily eat seals, but they will also eat other marine mammals and sometimes even birds and eggs. They are considered a vulnerable species due to habitat loss caused by climate change, as well as other factors such as hunting and pollution.
