[name]Arthur[/name] is a name used in our family for boys through many generations. We would like to honor that in some way. :???Does anyone know a femine name for [name]Arthur[/name] that we can use as a middle name for our little girl? :???:
arthurette is technically the female version of arthur. how about artis? similar and means the same as arthur
[name]How[/name] about [name]Artemis[/name], [name]Marta[/name] or [name]Martha[/name]?
[name]Arthurine[/name] which nameberry lists as an form of [name]Artis[/name], personally I like [name]Artis[/name] better there’s also Artura & Artturi
Have you considered [name]Arden[/name]? Arthemis is another good idea.
Here is an older thread with the same topic with some ideas: Nameberry - Welcome to the Nameberry Forums
If you want to go by name meanings, [name]Arthur[/name] means 'bear". [name]Bernadette[/name] (brave as a bear) and [name]Ursula[/name] could match up as female versions.
[name]Arthurine[/name] is a legitimate feminization,
If you don’t want something quite so heavy, there’s always [name]Artie[/name].
There is an Arthula in my family tree. Not exactly the same, but close.
I think Artura is the best feminization, in this case.
I like [name]Artemis[/name]!
I like the suggestion of [name]Martha[/name] as a feminization of [name]Arthur[/name].
I like [name]Artie[/name] or [name]Martha[/name]
Artura is probably the best.
I also think the suggestions of [name]Bernadette[/name] or [name]Ursala[/name] were great.
I know the below are not feminizations in the strictest terms, and I’m sure you’ve thought of them but…
Could you use a name that is closely related to Camelot? ([name]Morgana[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name] are the two more obvious ones that come to mind).
[name]King[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] is also known as the “forever king” -> [name]Erich[/name] “eternal ruler” could also turn into [name]Erica[/name]. (Or you could find a name that glorifies [name]Peace[/name], Equality, ect…)
[name]How[/name] about [name]Arliss[/name]? It has some of the same sounds as [name]Arthur[/name].
[name]Avalon[/name] isn’t a feminization, but it’s a fabulous name with strong connections to the Arthurian legend.
I love [name]Martha[/name]!
I also get the “[name]Arthur[/name] vibe” with [name]Althea[/name]. Definitely not a feminization, but it could work depending on your style.
Arthura
[name]Artemisia[/name]
Arthuriane
[name]Agatha[/name]
or use it in the middle - [name]Mary[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] ?
I love [name]King[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] legends, so i like the idea of using something from those. Not sure if that’s something you’d go for, but here’s a list of some usable names from there:
