The ancient Greek word for "bear" was άρκτος.
The Arctic is named after the animal; it's the place where bears are.
Naturally, when you find a place at the opposite side of the globe from the Arctic and where there are no bears, it's the anti-Arctic - in other words, Antarctica.
So the Arctic is Bears Place, and Antarctica is Not Bears Place.
just according to keikaku

I’m pretty sure the Eurasian brown bear is Ursus arctos arctos. So it’s a bear bear bear, which is as much bear as any bear can be.
Mathematically, you could call it a bear^3.
@noelle @InspectorCaracal Or "the bear from the land of bears". I like that reading because there's a subspecies "Ursus arctos horribilis" which is then clearly "the horrible bear from the land of bears".
@InspectorCaracal And tragically, the polar bear is Ursus maritimus - the "sailor bear". The brown bear and its cousins, on the other hand, are Ursus arctos - bear bears!
