Combining the name of the river Arth, meaning 'bear' and urdd meaning 'order' or 'guild' in the Welsh language gives us Arth-urdd. RebelScum 16:55, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

In Scandanavian the castle name could be translated into Din meaning 'your', Arth meaning 'species', and ur meaning 'out'. Whomever was here before the Norsemen could have been defeated by them, hence the name of the castle was given as a taunt. The jury is still out. RebelScum 17:04, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

"Din" in old Welsh means "fort", "Arth" is the name of the local river. The name simply means "Fortress on the River Arth" Rhion 13:32, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

I got hear whilst looking for Dinerth in Rhôs, so have added a note about it at the end. I'm not sure why the reference to Tintagel is included. Din is a very common word for 'fort' and 'arth' is just Brythonic, not specifically Cornish. Rhion is probably right though. It's just named after the river. Walgamanus 16:10, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
