Where this word comes from

* Some propose a borrowing/Latinization from the Etruscan praenomen 𐌀𐌓𐌈𐌕𐌓 (Arnthur). * Others suggest a Messapic name Artorres (“descendant of (Messapian king) Artas”), with the Messapic possessive suffix -orres. The name Artas is sometimes connected to Ancient Greek ἄρτος (ártos, “bread”), but the connection could be folk etymology. Sometimes said to be said the origin of Arthurus.
