Ursel is celebrated in Germany on October 21.
Ursel is a lovely, Northern German short form of the female given name Ursula, which traces back to the Latin word "Ursus" meaning bear. This name lends the bearer an apparent sweetness, beneath which lies a certain inner strength and persistence. As a typical name from the first half of the 20th century, it carries a nostalgic, almost vintage note today. It is less loud than its root word, but all the more catchy and warm thanks to its short form.
Ursels are often the quiet observers in the room, shining with a warm smile and common sense. At first glance, they may seem somewhat reserved or even shy, but inside they harbor a small spark of wild untamability reminiscent of their name patron. With a winking humor and a practical streak, they are the best friends you can count on when it comes to honest advice.
