| Meaning:
Boy’s name pronounced Ar-ther is of Celtic origin meaning “bear,”
related to the Irish Gaelic word meaning “stone,” and the Germanic
Arnthor meaning “Thor, the Eagle.” Arthur may be shortened to ‘Art,’
‘Thur’ and the strange variation, “Ya Bass.” Most Arthurs develop a bear
like stature, suffer from hemorrhoids and are attracted towards anything
heavy. They particularly like the alcoholic type of heavy and are
generally found to be stoned out of their minds. Arthurs like working
with high voltages and have the amusing ability to charge up insulated
screwdrivers to a high voltage. Hence ‘Ya Bass!’ is often heard
emanating from a colleague whose ear was on the receiving end of a few
thousand volts. |
