Etymology

The name Pooh was created by author A. A. Milne, who used this playful word in family poems and for his son's toys, including a swan in an early story. A helpful way to remember it is to think of a small, soft 'toy' name a child would use, which is why Pooh is the famous cuddly teddy bear we all know.
