Etymology[edit]
- Some propose a borrowing/Latinization from the Etruscan praenomen 𐌀𐌓𐌈𐌕𐌓 (Arnthur).[1][2]
- Others suggest a Messapic name Artorres (“descendant of (Messapian king) Artas”), with the Messapic possessive suffix -orres.[3] The name Artas is sometimes connected to Ancient Greek ἄρτος (ártos, “bread”), but the connection could be folk etymology.[4]
Sometimes said to be said the origin of Arthurus.
