Arthor
Arthor Origin and Meaning
Arthor is a masculine name that represents a variant spelling of the classic name Arthur. The traditional Arthur has Celtic origins, possibly deriving from the Romano-British name Artorius or the Celtic terms 'arth' (bear) and 'vir' (man or hero). This variant spelling with an 'o' gives the name a slightly more distinctive appearance while maintaining the strong, noble associations of the original. Arthur has deep connections to British mythology through King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, symbolizing courage and leadership. The Arthor spelling remains quite uncommon, appealing to parents who appreciate the gravitas and historical significance of Arthur but desire something visually different. The name carries connotations of strength, honor, and legendary heroism regardless of its spelling.
