Ewan Farrant
Ewan is a Scottish name with multiple sources. It is usually an anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic name Eòghann "noble born" and therefore derived ultimately from Latin ''Eugenius''. A Pictish name, ''Uuen'' (or ''Wen'') meaning "(the) warrior", or "born of the mountain", may instead be the source. If the source is Latin ''Eugenius'', it would make Ewan a cognate of Welsh, Cornish and Breton names including Owain (Owen) and Ouen. However, these may be older names derived from Britonnic language words referring to yew trees or ovines. Another possible more likely source is Euan, a Gaelic form of Latin '' Johannes/Ioannes''. As such it would be a cognate of Eoin, Ian and John. (''Euan'' is also an alternate name for the Roman god Bacchus.) Ewen is most common as a male given name in Scotland and Canada. It is also the source of surnames, mostly connected to Clan MacEwen and including McEwan, Ewan and Ewen. It is after these surnames that McEwan’s Beer and MacEwan Uni ...

Arthur James Cottier
Arthur is a masculine given name of uncertain etymology. Its popularity derives from it being the name of the legendary hero King Arthur. A common spelling variant used in many Slavic, Romance, and Germanic languages is Artur. In Spanish and Italian it is Arturo. Etymology The earliest attestation of the name Arthur is in the early 9th century Welsh-Latin text ''Historia Brittonum'', where it refers to a circa 5th century Romano-British general who fought against the invading Saxons, and who later gave rise to the famous King Arthur of medieval legend and literature. A possible earlier mention of the same man is to be found in the epic Welsh poem ''Y Gododdin'' by Aneirin, which some scholars assign to the late 6th century, though this is still a matter of debate and the poem only survives in a late 13th century manuscript entitled the Book of Aneirin. A 9th-century Breton landowner named Arthur witnessed several charters collected in the '' Cartulary of Redon''. The Irish borrow ...
