So Arthur, had to look it up ... typically we think of your name as Welsh in origin from King Arthur... but I did find a “loose” version in Hebrew Hebrew: ארתור (Artur) - AR'ELIY: Hebrew name meaning "lion of God." In the bible, this is the name of a son of Gad. So maybe ... :scratch: :unsure: TR — I found this for you .. What does Yod Heh Vav Heh mean? The Name is represented by the Hebrew letters Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh (YHVH). It is often referred to in Judaism as the "Unutterable Name". In Scripture, this Name is used when discussing God's relationship to humanity, and when emphasizing His Qualities of Loving Kindness and Mercy. :unsure: Joan means God is gracious. Pretty cool huh? Joan I looked up the Hebrew and your name is the feminine of John or Yohanan ... The name ultimately derives from the Biblical Hebrew name יוחנן Yôḥānān, short for יהוחנן Yəhôḥānān, meaning "Yahweh is merciful" You and our Yohanan carry a similar name —- way cool! B-) :yes: I believe Arthur means bear or strong as a bear. Arthur https://www.sheknows.com/baby-names/name/arthur/ A lion and a bear, oh my! Just need a tiger. 😉
