Artuir is Irish, Scottish Gaelic in Origin.
Artuir is the Old Irish and early Scottish Gaelic form of Arthur, with deep Brythonic and Goidelic connections. Its etymology is debated: many derive it from Proto-Celtic artos “bear” combined with wiros “man” or rīxs “king,” giving senses like “bear-man” or “bear-king”; others point to the Roman family name Artorius, later adapted into Celtic languages.
The name appears in early medieval sources, notably Artuir mac Áedáin of Dál Riata (late 6th–early 7th century), showing authentic Gaelic use independent of later romance traditions. Modern Gaelic favors Artair (Scottish Gaelic) and Artúr (Irish); related forms include English/French Arthur and pan-European Artur, with Baltic variants Artūrs (Latvian) and Artūras (Lithuanian). Short forms such as Art occur in both Gaelic and English. Rare today, Artuir appeals to those seeking a historically grounded Gaelic variant of a legendary name.
Artuir is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 1 time, across 1 country.
