Scottish boy's name whose roots are believed to be Celtic. The name probably dates back as far as pre-Roman times in Britain. It is possibly derived from the Celtic 'artos' (bear), the Irish Gaelic 'art' (stone), or the Welsh term 'arth gwyr,' or 'bear man.' During the late 19th century the name Arthur was in the Top 20 names in Britain but since then has dropped in popularity.
