Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Pôvod mena nie je jednoznačne vyriešený. Spája sa najmä s keltským základom *artos vo význame „medveď“, prípadne s hypotetickým zloženým menom obsahujúcim prvok *wiros „muž“. Konkurenčný výklad ho odvodzuje od rímskeho rodového mena Artorius, ktorého pôvod a význam zostávajú neisté.
