"Teddy" was an abbreviation of Theodore, and the nickname had nothing to do with Theodore Roosevelt's bear hunting incident. However, the teddy bear's name is derived from the incident.
Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear that had been captured for him to shoot when his hunting trip was not going well. The incident was captured in a Clifford Berryman political cartoon, "Drawing the Line in Mississippi," featuring a frightened little bear tied down by a man and an indignant Roosevelt refusing to even look at it. The little bear became a feature in the background of Berryman Cartoons of Roosevelt forever after.

Teddy bears were named after our 26th President of the United States. Roosevelt went a hunt with a buch of hunters and they came to an old bear and followed it a great distance until it became tired. They tied the bear to an old tree and wanted the President to shoot it for the hunt to be successful. The President looked at the old bear and said no that he would not shoot it. The bear was in pain and suffering and ordered the bear to be put down. There was then a cartoon in the paper of a bear tied to a tree and Roosevelt refusing to shoot it.
