Arthur is a common masculine given name. Its etymology is disputed, but its popularity derives from its being the name of the legendary hero King Arthur.
Art is a diminutive form of the name. A common spelling variant used in many Slavic, Romance, and Germanic languages is Artur.
It was an inside joke, if you don't get it, you don't need to.

Good God in the sky. So slowly in the intellect, yet so in the intelligent chess, adds not above.
