Uther Origin and Meaning

The name Uther is a boy's name meaning "terrible".

The father of the legendary King Arthur, this name derives from the Welsh uthr meaning "terrible" — likely in the sense of inspiring fear. Also spelled Uthyr, the name has only appeared in the UK stats once, in 2001, when four boys were called Uther.
