Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for Ursula, with forms such as "rusula", "urrsula", and "urslua". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. Our dataset records no confusable match here, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.

This entry carries no recorded etymology, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is Ursula, spelled U-R-S-U-L-A.
