Uschi

Uschi is a German feminine name functioning as a familiar diminutive of Ursula, which itself derives from the Latin ursula, meaning little bear, a diminutive of ursa, bear. The name gained particular cultural visibility through German actress and model Uschi Glas, who became widely recognized in the 1960s and 1970s. As a pet form, it belongs to the same family as Ursel and Ulla, all affectionate shortenings of Ursula used in German-speaking regions.
