† Arthur's hufen.

Forms: pre-1700 Arthuris huyfe, pre-1700 Arthurus hufe, 1800s Arthur's hufe. Also with capital initial in the second element.

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Arthur, an element of uncertain origin.

Etymology: < the genitive of the name of King Arthur (see Arthurian adj.) + a second element of uncertain origin; the name of the constellation probably shows an extended use of the name of a round building which formerly stood near Carron in Stirlingshire, in which the second element may perhaps arise from either a misapprehension or a misreading of a variant of oven n. (see forms at that entry).Compare the following references to the Stirlingshire building:c1377 J. Fordun Scoti-chron. (1759) I. ii. xvi. 51 Quam cum Arthurus rex..recreandi gratiâ invisere soleret, a plebeis propterea Arthuris Hove dicebatur.1535 W. Stewart tr. H. Boethius Bk. Cron. Scotl.

The following suggest that the original name of this building was Arthur's Oon (or Arthur's Oven ; in quot. 1292 rendered in Latin as furnus Arthuri):1292 in C. Innes Reg. S.

As to K. Edward giving it the name of Arthur's Hoff or house, it had the name of Arthur's Oon or Kiln long before.
