"Were" is an old English term meaning 'man'. Werewolf mean 'Wolfman' (or, properly, man-wolf). Mythologically or in terms of roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons, there are Werebears, Werewolves and probably wome other Werecreatures as well but there is no such thing as a werebeast outside of legend and gaming.
Legends of shape-shifting and/or adopting animal characteristics are very old indeed and exist in almost every culture worldwide. The specific legends of Werewolves as we in America generally understand them are European in legend and there is documentation of these legends dating back at least to medieval times.
