Origin & history of Author1
English / American Variant roots
Author appeared in early-twentieth-century American naming records, almost certainly as a phonetic spelling or transcription variant of Arthur — itself from the Celtic Artos or Latin Arturus, possibly meaning bear or noble. Some Author entries in early SSA records may reflect parents using the English word author as a meaningful given name, or simple clerical misspellings of Arthur. Author peaked in 1933 and represents an interesting moment in early-twentieth-century American naming flexibility.
