Ursola Name Meaning

The name "Ursola" is a variant form of the name Ursula, which is of Latin origin. It derives from the term "ursa", meaning "bear". The name is quite old and has been in use since the Middle Ages.

Ursula was a legendary virgin princess of the 4th century who was martyred by the Huns while returning from a pilgrimage. In England, the name came into use largely because of the fame of this saint. However, the name Ursola is not as commonly used as Ursula.
