Ursela is a unique, feminine given name of Latin origin, derived from the male name Ursula, which itself originates from the Latin word 'ursa', meaning 'bear'. This name gained popularity in the Middle Ages through Saint Ursula, a legendary princess who was martyred along with her 11,000 virgin companions. While Ursela is less commonly used than its male counterpart or the feminine Ursula, it offers an alternative with a distinct charm and historical significance.
"Ursela saw a peak in popularity with seven births in 1969, but it has since declined, with five births recorded as recently as 1990."
