Artor is in Origin.

Artor is a rare masculine given name best understood as a variant of Arthur/Artur, shaped by Scandinavian and Baltic naming patterns and occasionally recorded in Swedish- and Finnish-speaking contexts alongside Arto and Artturi. The wider Arthur family spread across medieval Britain and France through the Arthurian legends, then revived in the 19th century across Europe; Artor appears sporadically in modern records where the -or ending (as in Victor, Isidor) feels familiar.

Etymologically, the name traces either to the Roman family name Artorius (of uncertain, possibly Etruscan origin) or to a Brittonic root art-/arth meaning “bear,” yielding the popular gloss “bear” or “bear-king.” Related forms and variants include Arthur, Artur, Artúr, Artair (Scottish Gaelic), Artus (Breton/French), Arturo (Spanish/Italian), Artūras (Lithuanian), Arturs (Latvian), and Finnish Arto/Artturi. Common short forms are Art and Artie; less common feminines include Arthurina and Artura.
