Grizzly means 'thick coarse stiff unkempt hair'. A bear has a similar type of hair on its body and therefore is called Grizzly Bear

Answer --> the word grizzly means flecked with gray. Grizzly bear have grey hairs on its fur and thus the name grizzly

The term grizzly refers to the grey tips on the hair, like when a man has a greying beard that mixes grey to his regular hair color. This grey-tipped hair color phase is only in the central continent, coastal bears in Alaska and Eur-asia bears don't have it which is why they were called brown bears. Science has not decided that they are all closely related enough to be subspecies within one species of Brown bear (Ursus arctos) in Europe, Asia, and North America. Grizzly bears like those in Yellowstone National Park are Ursus arctos horribilis.

They are called that cause of the grey hairs in some places on them that give them a 'grizzled' look.
