Inspired by nature and carried by an Italian elegance, this male first name seduces more and more young parents in search of authenticity. Rare, symbolic and deeply attached to the inner strength, he now imposes himself among the first names that count in 2025.
A first name at the crossroads of sweetness and power
From Latin UrsusOrso literally means “bear”. A powerful, almost primitive evocation, which echoes the quiet strength of this emblematic animal. According to The official first names (First Éditions), this rare Italian first name evokes both the robustness of wilderness and an surprisingly soft, almost cuddly sound. An attractive contrast that appeals to lovers of first names with a strong personality.
Long discreet, he is experiencing today a real renewed interest, surfing on the wave of transalpine names with assertive musicality: Aria, Chiara, Ezio, Lino, Milo or Lorenzo. In 2025, around 950 children in France carried this first name, now classified in the top 300 of the most attributed male first names.
A strong and reassuring identity
Beyond its literal meaning, this first name is distinguished by a rich characterology: security, perseverance, efficiency, structure and honesty. So many qualities that resonate with contemporary parental aspirations: giving a name carrier of meaning, which evokes a solid identity and a peaceful inner force.
It is also a nod to Mediterranean, Corsican and Italian roots, which give the first name a cultural depth and singular authenticity. It is therefore no coincidence that certain personalities have chosen this first name for their child, like the actor Gaspard Ulliel and the singer Gaëlle Pietri.
A rarity that has the future
Neither too short nor too long, this rare first name checks all the boxes of a modern choice: original without being extravagant, international without losing his soul, tender while inspiring respect. A subtle balance which makes it an increasingly popular choice by parents in search of a first name that is both sweet, strong and symbolic.
