Origin, Meaning, And History Of Artur

The name Artur is similar in meaning to the name Arthur, which is often associated with a bear. This name is thought to have originated from either the Roman surname Artorius, the Celtic deity Artio who was associated with bears, or from the Celtic word artos, which means ‘bear.’

The history of the name Artus connects back to the Celtic mythology of Artio, the bear goddess. Artio was a goddess worshiped in the region of Gaul and was associated with nature, fertility, and bears. She was believed to hibernate during the winter and awaken in the spring when new life emerged. As a deity of the cycle of life and death, she was also associated with the changing seasons. Artio could take on the form of a bear or appear as a woman wearing a bear skin cloak. According to legend, she could even become a constellation. When the Romans conquered Gaul, they merged the local Celtic myths and gods with their own. They saw Artio as similar to their goddess of nature, Artemis, due to their shared association with bears.

The name Artur may also be connected to the name of the legendary hero King Arthur. Arthur is a legendary king of Britain and a prominent figure in the Matter of Britain, a medieval literary tradition. Welsh sources depict him as a leader of the Britons in battles against Anglo-Saxon invaders in the late 5th and early 6th centuries. The earliest historical accounts of Arthur can be found in the Annales Cambriae and the Historia Brittonum, but these texts were written 300 years after he is believed to have lived. As a result, most historians who study the period do not consider him a historical figure. Arthur’s name also appears in early Welsh poetic sources like Y Gododdin.

These are various variations of Artur, Arthur, Arthurus, Artorījos, Artrí, Artur, Artúr, Arturius, Arturo, Arturus, and Arthwr. Archie, Ari, Art, Artie, and Artu are popular shortened versions or nicknames derived from Arthur.

The variant Arthur is common in fiction, but Artur is rare. However, Artur appears as a playable character inFire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, a tactical role-playing game.
