Arte is a short form found in English and Spanish naming traditions, most often derived from Arthur/Arturo and occasionally from Artemio/Artem. From the Arthur line, it inherits the debated Celtic and Latin roots: either from the Romano-Etruscan family name Artorius or reinterpreted through Celtic artos "bear," yielding senses such as bear-like strength or "bear king." From the Greek Artemios/Artemius pathway (via Artemio/Artem), it carries the meaning "safe, unharmed, pure." Its spelling also echoes the Romance word for "art," lending a creative vibe without being its etymological source.

As an independent given name, Arte saw modest 20th‑century use in the United States, notably borne by comedian Arte Johnson and baseball owner Arte Moreno (born Arturo).

The name remains concise, familiar, and international in feel.
