Arktos is the Greek word for bear, and appears in the Eurasian brown bear's scientific name (Ursus arctos arctos)

Perhaps "arctovector"?

I say go for as many hyper-specific variations & connotations as possible and let the most convenient variation (or typically the most general use variation) dominate like alterocentric appearing more popular than allocentric.
