Arther is an English given name, a rare variant spelling of Arthur. Etymology is debated: many scholars link it to a Celtic root artos “bear,” possibly compounded with elements meaning “man” or “king,” while others point to the Roman family name Artorius of uncertain sense. Because of these strands, the meaning is commonly rendered as “bear” or “bear warrior.” The legendary status of King Arthur has long lent the name connotations of chivalry, leadership, and courage.

Arther appears in English parish registers and American records from the 17th to early 20th centuries, often as a phonetic or clerical variant of Arthur, peaking in use around the late 1800s before becoming uncommon. The spelling does not typically change pronunciation. Related forms include Arthur (standard), Artur (Central/Eastern European), Artúr (Irish, Hungarian), Artair (Scottish Gaelic), Arturo (Spanish/Italian), and Arto (Finnish). Nicknames include Art and Artie; rare feminines include Arthurine and Arthurina.
