Arthur


The name of a legendary British king, the name Arthur has a long and convoluted history. It is sometimes linked to the Celtic word artos, meaning "bear." Other historians have proposed it coming from the Irish art meaning "stone," a Roman clan name Artorius (of unknown meaning) or the Norse Arnthor, a name derived from elements meaning "Thor" and "eagle." I'm not sure anyone will ever know the "true" meaning of the name.
