Origin of name: "Arthur"
I just looked up the name "Arthur" on BehindtheName.com site on a hunch. I've been reading "The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke". I keep seeing his name on the book cover and wondering if it is related somehow to "Thor". As I understand it, the day of the week, "Thursday", is derived somehow from Thor. So maybe there is a connection. I was surprised that (the name) Arthur's origin is not known with more precision. So what do the experts think? By the way, I enjoyed the remarkable coincidence of seeing Arthur C. Clarke's name as one of the historical well-knowns with the name Arthur!!
thank you, Mike McDonald
