И, я сюда добавлю версию и гипотезу , связывающую древний город Мерв в Туркменистане и имя Мерлин
город Мерв в Туркменистане ----- и имя Волшебник Мерлин,
Мерв -- Мерлин
Мерлин, как "с города Мерв с Туркменистана"
Турк, Тур, Туркменистан, Турция, турки, тур, - --- и Артур
Волшебники и рыцари часто в путешествиях и передрягах,
рыцари турниры проводят.
Волшебника вполне могло занести в Туркменистан город Мерв,
и он мог взять имя в память города Мерв как Мерлин.
Но это чисто фантазийная версия и гипотеза. Может быть и правдой и полным вымыслом.
Кстати, мы знаем версии о путешествии Иисуса Христа в Индию (как версия).
Но и город Мерв аккамулировал палитру религий в определённые этапы, а также и студентов.

On English
"Merlin"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merlin
" Merlin
(Welsh: Myrddin) is a legendary figure best known as the wizard featured in Arthurian legend and medieval Welsh poetry.
The standard depiction of the character first appears in
Geoffrey of Monmouth's
Historia Regum Britanniae, written c. 1136,
and is based on an amalgamation of previous historical and legendary figures.
Geoffrey combined existing stories of
Myrddin Wyllt (Merlinus Caledonensis),
a North Brythonic prophet and madman with no connection to King Arthur,
with tales of the Romano-British war leader
Ambrosius Aurelianus
to form the composite figure he called
Merlin Ambrosius (Welsh: Myrddin Emrys)."

"Matter of Britain"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_of_Britain
"The Matter of Britain is the body of Medieval literature and legendary material associated with Great Britain, and sometimes Brittany, and the legendary kings and heroes associated with it, particularly King Arthur. It was one of the three great story cycles recalled repeatedly in medieval literature, together with the Matter of France, which concerned the legends of Charlemagne, and the Matter of Rome, which included material derived from or inspired by classical mythology."

"King Arthur"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Arthur
King Arthur
"King Arthur
is a legendary British leader who,
according to medieval histories and romances,
led the defence of Britain
against Saxon invaders
in the late 5th and early 6th centuries.
The details of Arthur's story are mainly composed of folklore and literary invention, and his historical existence is debated and disputed by modern historians.
The sparse historical background of Arthur is gleaned from various sources, including the
Annales Cambriae, the Historia Brittonum, and
the writings of Gildas.
Arthur's name also occurs in early poetic sources such as Y Gododdin.
Arthur is a central figure in the legends making up
the Matter of Britain.
The legendary Arthur
developed as a figure of international interest largely through the popularity of
Geoffrey of Monmouth's fanciful and imaginative
12th-century
Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain).
In some Welsh and Breton tales and poems
that date from before this work,
Arthur
appears either as a great warrior defending Britain
from human and supernatural enemies or as a magical figure of folklore,
sometimes associated with
the Welsh Otherworld, Annwn.
How much of
Geoffrey's
Historia
(completed in 1138)
was adapted from such earlier sources,
rather than invented by Geoffrey himself,
is unknown.
Although the themes, events and characters of the Arthurian legend varied widely from text to text, and there is no one canonical version;
Geoffrey's version of events often served as the starting point for later stories.
Geoffrey depicted
Arthur as a king of Britain who defeated the Saxons and established an empire over
Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Norway and Gaul.
Many elements and incidents
that are now an integral part of
the Arthurian story appear
in Geoffrey's Historia, including
Arthur's father
Uther Pendragon,
the wizard Merlin,
Arthur's wife Guinevere,
the sword Excalibur,
Arthur's conception at Tintagel,
his final battle against Mordred at Camlann,
and final rest in Avalon.
The 12th-century
French writer
Chretien de Troyes,
who added
Lancelot and
the Holy Grail to the story,
began the genre of Arthurian romance that became a significant strand of medieval literature.
In these French stories, the narrative focus often shifts from King Arthur himself
