Arthur
- My boyfriend is named Arthur and I love the name -- a big teddy-bear name, just like he is. It also has the positive connotations of King Arthur and his knights.
- a fan of Arthurian Legend & older names. I think its ripe for revival
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."
