Как звучали имена Артура, Морганы etc. на их языке?

[Morumbar]

События, описываемые в легендах Артуровского цикла, имели прототипом реальные события, происходившие в период где-то между 450 и 550 годами н.э. Это было тяжелое время для кельтской Британии: на смену римлянам, давно ушедшим из этих земель, пришли англы и саксы.

Вопрос %1: на каком языке говорили прототипы персонажей "Артуровского цикла"? Я правильно понимаю, что в это время кельты говорили на общебриттском, англ. Common Brittonic. Ведь англ. Archaic Welsh - это период с 550-800 года... А древневаллийский и древнекорнский, как принято считать - примерно с 800-го года.

Вопрос %2: чем язык времен Артура отличался от языка времен Боудикки? (I в н.э.)

Вопрос %3: Как на общебриттском времен Артура звучало имя Морганы? (др.-вал. Morgen, в произведениях Гальфрида Монмутского - так же) Насколько вероятно, что это имя связано с именем ирландской богини Морриган?

Вопрос %4: Существует ли общепризнанная этимология имени Артура? (в "Истории Бриттов" Гальфрида Монмутского он именуется Arthurus) Как это имя звучало в общебриттском, в архаичном валлийском, в древневаллийском? Какие формы зафиксированы?

Заранее благодарен))

Насчет Артура -- может, эта инфа как-то поможет:

Arthur
masc. proper name, from Medieval Latin Arthurus/Arturus, from Welsh arth "bear," cognate with Greek arktos, Latin ursus (see Arctic).

Все словари, кроме etymonline, пишут probably.

The origin of the name Arthur remains a matter of debate. Some suggest it is derived from the Roman nomen gentile (family name) Artōrius, of obscure and contested etymology (but possibly of Messapic or Etruscan origin). Some scholars have noted that the legendary King Arthur's name only appears as Arthur, or Arturus, in early Latin Arthurian texts, never as Artōrius (although the Classical Latin Artōrius became Arturius in some Vulgar Latin dialects). However, this may not say anything about the origin of the name Arthur, as Artōrius would regularly become Art(h)ur when borrowed into Welsh.
Another possibility is that it is derived from a Brittonic patronym *Arto-rīg-ios (the root of which, *arto-rīg- "bear-king" is to be found in the Old Irish personal name Art-ri) via a Latinized form Artōrius. Less likely is the commonly proposed derivation from Welsh arth "bear" + (g)wr "man" (earlier *Arto-uiros in Brittonic); there are phonological difficulties with this theory - notably that a Brittonic compound name *Arto-uiros should produce Old Welsh *Artgur and Middle/Modern Welsh *Arthwr and not Arthur (in Welsh poetry the name is always spelled Arthur and is exclusively rhymed with words ending in -ur - never words ending in -wr - which confirms that the second element cannot be [g]wr "man").
An alternative theory, which has only gained limited acceptance among scholars, derives the name Arthur from the Latin Arcturus (the brightest star in the constellation Boötes, near Ursa Major or the Great Bear), which is the latinisation of the Greek Αρκτοῦρος (Arktouros) and means "Guardian of the Bear", ultimately from ἄρκτος (arktos), "bear" + οὖρος (ouros), "watcher, guardian". Classical Latin Arcturus would also have become Art(h)ur when borrowed into Welsh, and its brightness and position in the sky led people to regard it as the "guardian of the bear" and the "leader" of the other stars in Boötes.
A similar first name is Old Irish Artúr, which is believed to be derived directly from an early Old Welsh or Cumbric Artur. The earliest historically attested bearer of the name is a son or grandson of Áedán mac Gabráin (d. AD 609).

[Georgos Therapon]

Имя "Артур" встречается у Ригорда в "De gestis regis Philippi Augusti". Вот здесь описывается, как Артурий был посвящен в герцоги Бретани.

Благодарю!

Значит, у бретонцев было такое же имя...

Про Моргану из Вики:

The earliest spelling of the name (found in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Vita Merlini) is Morgen, which is likely derived from Old Welsh or Old Breton Morgen, meaning "Sea-born" (from Common Brittonic *Mori-genā, the masculine form of which, *Mori-genos, survived in Middle Welsh as Moryen or Morien; a cognate form in Old Irish is Muirgein, the name of a Christian, shape-shifting female saint who was associated with the sea). The name is not to be confused with the Modern Welsh masculine name Morgan (spelled Morcant in the Old Welsh period).[1][2] As her epithet "le Fay" (from the French la fée, "the fairy") and some traits indicates, the figure of Morgan appears to have been a remnant of a supernatural woman from Celtic mythology, and her main name could be connected to the myths of Morgens (or Morgans) which are Welsh and Breton water spirits. While later works make her specifically human, she retains her magical powers.

Про Морриган совсем другая этимология:

The Morrígan ("phantom queen") or Mórrígan ("great queen")

Там фада в первом слоге или ставится или нет, от этого зависит смысл переводов.

КСТАТИ!! "Morrígan" (без фады) - это "королева призраков" или "королева воронов"?
