Ursus maritimus is the scientific name for the polar bear. It means sea bear in Latin. Commander C.J. Phipps, an officer in the British navy and author of A Voyage towards the North Pole used this name for the first time in 1774. Polar bears are only called polar bears in English culture. They have many other names in other cultures.
