The English word "bear" originates from Old English bera and has a place with a group of names for the bear in Germanic dialects, for example, Swedish björn, additionally utilized as a first name. This structure is ordinarily supposed to be identified with a Proto-Indo-European word for "earthy colored", so that "bear" would signify "the earthy colored one". Notwithstanding, Ringe takes note of that while this derivation is semantically conceivable, a word signifying "earthy colored" of this structure can't be found in Proto-Indo-European. He proposes rather that "bear" is from the Proto-Indo-European word *ǵʰwḗr-~ *ǵʰwér "wild creature". This phrasing for the creature started as an untouchable evasion term: proto-Germanic clans swapped their unique word for bear—arkto—with this metaphorical articulation out of dread that talking the creature's actual name may make it show up. As per creator Ralph Keyes, this is the most established known code word. 

Bear taxon names, for example, Arctoidea and Helarctos originate from the old Greek ἄρκτος (arktos), which means bear, as do the names "ice" and "antarctic", by means of the name of the star grouping Ursa Major, the "Incomparable Bear", conspicuous in the northern sky. 

Bear taxon names, for example, Ursidae and Ursus originate from Latin Ursus/Ursa, he-bear/she-bear. The female first name "Ursula", initially got from a Christian holy person's name, signifies "little she-bear" (small of Latin ursa). In Switzerland, the male first name "Urs" is particularly well known, while the name of the canton and city of Bern is gotten from Bär, German for bear. The Germanic name Bernard (counting Bernhardt and comparable structures) signifies "bear-fearless", "bear-strong", or "striking bear". The Old English name Beowulf is a kenning, "honey bee wolf", for bear, thus meaning a courageous warrior.
