Artelus Origin and Meaning

The name Artelus is a boy's name meaning "bear".

An intriguing and rare name with a familiar sound, Artleus has been used by the Romani people as both a Latinized form of Arthur, and as a masculine form of Saint Arthelais, the patron saint of the exiled, the sick, and for kidnap victims. It could appeal to those who want an unusual form of the classic, or those who enjoy Atlas, Atticus, and Artemis.
