e/Bears in heraldry

New Query

Information
has glosseng: The bear is a common charge in heraldry, inherited from its totemic use among Germanic peoples and interpreted as symbolizing strength, cunning and ferocity in the protection of ones kindred. Numerous cities around the world have adopted the bear in their arms, notably the Swiss capital Bern, which takes its name from the German for bear, Bär. The bear is similarly the name-emblem of Berlin, through false etymology (Bärlein means small bear), although in fact the citys name descends from a Slavic word meaning swamps.
