Berlin's name does not necessarily have its origins in the word "bear".

According to the Wikipedia article about Berlin the origins of its name are as follows:

"The name Berlin has its roots in the language of West Slavic inhabitants of the area of today's Berlin, and may be related to the Old Polabian stem berl-/birl- ("swamp").[22] Since the Ber- at the beginning sounds like the German word Bär (bear), a bear appears in the coat of arms of the city"

The article here states that the city's name is taken from the word "bear" in German. This may not be true according to the statement above that the origin of its name could lie in an extinct West Slavic language and really means "swamp". The assertion that Berlin comes from the word "bear" should be removed since your own dictionary does not back this claim up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.138.90.39 (talk) 06:49, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

The Eurasian brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) is one of the most common subspecies of the brown bear, and is found in much of Eurasia. It is also called the European brown bear, common brown bear, common bear, and colloquially by many other names. The genetic diversity of present-day brown bears (Ursus arctos) has been extensively studied over the years and appears to be geographically structured into five main clades based upon analysis of the mitochondrial DNA. This adult female was photographed near Stari Kot, Slovenia.
