Arthur L
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.

A 9th-century Breton people, Breton landowner named Arthur witnessed several charters collected in the ''Redon_Abbey ...
