The correct answer is "not since June 1844". The first bird to be called a penguin was the flightless Great Auk, a northern hemisphere bird that bred in Arctic waters. It is not related to the spheniscidae. When the Great Auk became extinct in 1844, only the spheniscidae of the southern hemisphere kept the name "penguin" going.

NO. The 99% of the penguins live in the southern hemisphere. The only specie you can see in the Northern hemisphere is the Galapagos Island Penguin, in the equator. So the polar bears never meets with the penguins.

Freedomisbetter is correct all species of penguins except the Galapagos island penguin are strictly souther hemisphere thus antarctic.
Of the Galapagos island penguins only one island's population is north of the equator (by 16 miles).
