In French: Arturia In English: Arturia It's just a name. No idea how they came up with it. It's mentioned nowhere on their History and About Us pages. So, hopefully, there's a forum member who knows the history.

Don't know why Arturia specifically, but companies often put a lot of effort into finding a name that's pronounceable in many languages, hopefully has no undesirable meaning in any language and is distinctive and easy to remember and recognise.
"Kodak" (Eastman Kodak to give the company its full name) is often credited with being an early example of the process. Kodak's founder George Eastman said so anyway.

I believe it's either a company name or when someone has a deceptive direction called arturia motive. I may be mistaken

The route is the common English word art from the Latin ars, with a simple addition of the combining form uria from the Greek ouron (urine) to ouria thence to Latin uria a suffix denoting a substance contained in or related to urine as in glycosuria (glucose in the urine). Thence the name Arturia means that art has been melded with piss.

Art piss. Perfect explanation!

Nothing wrong with Pollock.
Goes quite well battered with chips and MacDonalds make their fish sandwiches out of it.

Is there some confusion between Pollack and Andres Serrano?

Interesting!
Why do I get the odd creeping feeling that very soon the company "Arturia" may be changing its name?
“Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy” is attributed to Benjamin Franklin perhaps in error, but the thought remains a worthy sentiment nonetheless.

In the autobiography of Ikutaro Kakehashi (Roland's founder) he says he chose "Roland" because a) it was easily pronounceable in any language (except, ironically, his own), and b) there were no other "R"s in the vendor listing at NAMM.
I'm guessing "Arturia" has a similar explanation. Begins with "A", like every company Wylie Coyote ever mail-ordered from. And is much more easily pronounced by English speakers than "Pommereuil".
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff
