Artúr is Celtic in Origin.

Artúr is the Irish and Hungarian form of Arthur, a name rooted in the Celtic-speaking world. Its etymology is debated: many link it to Brittonic arth/artos “bear,” possibly combined with an element meaning “man” or “king,” yielding a conventional sense of “bear” or “bear-king”; others derive it from the Roman family name Artorius. Through medieval Latin Arturus, the name spread widely with Christian and courtly literature.

Usage is dominated by the prestige of Britain’s legendary King Arthur, which drove adoption and survival across Europe. In Ireland, Art (an older Gaelic name) coexisted with Artúr, while in Hungary the form Artúr entered through Western influence and rose in the 19th–20th centuries with romantic and literary currents. International variants include Arthur, Artur, Arturo, Artus, Artair, and Artturi; related short forms and nicknames include Art and Artie.
