'Arthur' is a common male name, meaning "bear-like," believed to possibly be
descended from the Roman surname Artorius or the Celtic bear-goddess Artio or
more probably from the Celtic word artos ("bear"). Other Celtic languages have
similar first names, such as Old Irish Art, ArtГєur, Welsh Arth - which may also
be the source for the modern name. Art is also a diminutive form of the common
name Arthur. In many Slavic, Romance, and Germanic languages the name is spelled
as Artur. The Finnish versions are Arttu and Artturi.
