As I understand it the origin of Teddy Bear comes from this Washington Post cartoon which depicts an incident that happened during a Presidential hunting trip:
 Apparently his handlers had caught a bear cub and tied it to a tree so TR could shoot it but he refused considering it to be unsportsmanlike. Some smart marketing guy came up with the idea of applying the name to a stuffed bear.
