Arlie Origin and Meaning

The name Arlie is a boy's name.

Arlie is a unisex name of Old English origin, though traditionally more common for males. It derives from the English surname that referred to someone who lived in a clearing among alders (a type of tree). Alternatively, it may be a diminutive of the Germanic name Arnold, meaning 'eagle power.' Popular during the early 1900s in America, Arlie saw modest usage before declining through the mid-century. The name has experienced a small revival in recent decades as parents seek vintage names with a friendly, approachable quality. With its short, crisp sound and rural associations, Arlie projects a down-to-earth, unpretentious character. The name's folksy charm and simplicity have contributed to its continued, if limited, use in contemporary naming, particularly in rural communities.
