Orson

Orson is a boy's baby name of Latin origin, from the Old French Ourson meaning 'bear cub,' ultimately from the Latin ursus (bear). The name carries both medieval bear symbolism and the towering artistic legacy of Orson Welles, director of Citizen Kane and one of cinema's greatest visionaries.

Orson is a name for parents with serious cinephile credentials — it's impossible to say it without thinking of Welles. But it also works as a straightforward surname-name with genuine Old French roots. Brainy, artistic, and a little larger than life.
