Meaning & Origin of Art
Meaning: Bear, figuratively "champion".
Origin: Celtic (Irish).
A common claim: Art (often as a form of Arthur) is said to mean "noble strength" Actually: "Noble strength" isn't Art's own meaning -- it's a gloss sometimes attached to Arthur, whose etymology is separately disputed. Art itself is documented simply as "bear," thus "champion."
