What does Paddington mean?

Paddington Burlington, do you know Paddington Bear? It's Paddington Bear, the English writer Michael. The protagonist in Bond's children's books, a teddy bear from Peru, got lost at Paddington Station in London, and later lived with an English family. There is a sign around his neck that says, "Please take care of this bear". He likes to eat citrus jam sandwiches.

It is a fictional character in English children's literature. He first appeared in 1958, and then 14 books written by Michael Bond featured him, and the Paddington bear image drawn by Peggy Fortnum won the exclusive rights. Paddington bear in the picture is more like a teddy bear, the prototype of Winnie the Pooh, than a real bear. Paddington Bear was inspired by a teddy bear that Bond and his wife saw in a store during Christmas. Because the teddy bear was the last bear on the shelf, they thought it would feel lonely and bought it home.

Paddington Bear is an anthropomorphic bear. He speaks English and always wears an old hat. He always carries an old suitcase with his personal belongings wherever he goes (only later did he know that there was a secret compartment in it, and Paddington Bear put some things he thought were the most important, such as his passport). In the initial and earlier versions, he wore a duffle coat and wellington boots. He always addresses others politely with "Mr", "Ms" or "Miss", and rarely uses his first name directly. He always has good intentions (although he will stare at people he disagrees with), and likes jam sandwiches and cocoa. Although everyone knows that he "tries very hard to do everything right", he keeps causing a lot of trouble.

that's it.
