Meaning & Origin of Artur
Origin: Celtic or Latin (etymology disputed).
A common claim: Extremely widely repeated as meaning 'bear king' or 'noble and courageous', from a supposed Celtic word for 'bear'. Actually: 'Bear king' is one popular theory, not a confirmed fact — linguists haven't established the Celtic 'bear' derivation over the competing, equally unproven link to the Latin name Artorius.
