The meaning and origin of Arthur is unknown, but some experts believe it's derived from the Old Welsh elements arth, meaning "bear," and gur, meaning "man." It was a top 20 boy's name in the U.S. every year between 1900 and 1926 and remained in the top 100 until 1970. It fell as far back as 388th in 2010, but has rebounded in recent years and cracked the top 150 in 2022 and 2023. "Gotham" stars Morena Baccarin and Benjamin McKenzie welcomed a son named Arthur in 2021, while Ellie Goulding shares a son named Arthur Ever Winter, also born in 2021, with husband Caspar Jopling.
