Arthur Cravan (born Fabian Avenarius Lloyd;[2] 22 May 1887 – disappeared 1918) was a Swiss writer, poet, artist and boxer. He was the second son of Otho Holland Lloyd and Hélène Clara St. Clair. His brother Otho Lloyd was a painter and photographer married to the Russian émigré artist Olga Sacharoff.[3] His father's sister, Constance Mary Lloyd, was married to Irish poet Oscar Wilde.[4] He changed his name to Cravan in 1912 in honour of his fiancée Renée Bouchet, who was born in the small village of Cravans in the department of Charente-Maritime in western France.[citation needed]
Cravan was last seen at Salina Cruz, Mexico in 1918[5] and most likely drowned in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Mexico in November 1918.[6]
