Teddy bears got the name “Teddy” for a reason. Theodore Roosevelt, then President of America, was out hunting with his friends. It was 1902, the hunting ground was near the Mississippi River. They caught a little bear cub, but Theodore did not kill him and let him go. Thus spread the rumor about the president’s kindness to animals, and the name of the teddy bear is a diminutive form of the name Roosevelt.

Some attribute the development of teddy bears to Margaret Steiff. The woman, along with her nephew, visited the zoo: the boy was delighted with the bears, that Margaret decided to please him.
