Arletta Origin and Meaning

The name Arletta is a girl's name.

Arletta is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a diminutive form of Arla or Arlene, both Germanic names meaning 'pledge' or 'oath.' Alternatively, it could be related to the French name Arlette, a diminutive of Charlotte. The '-etta' suffix adds a delicate, feminine quality typical of Italian and French naming traditions. Though never widely popular, Arletta saw modest usage in the early to mid-20th century in the United States, particularly in the 1930s. The name has a vintage charm that aligns with the revival of other early 20th century names. Arletta carries a melodic quality with its soft consonants and vowel endings, offering an uncommon yet accessible option for parents drawn to names with an elegant, somewhat nostalgic character.
