Arvie

Arvie is a feminine name with multiple potential origins. It may function as a diminutive form of Arvilla or Arvilla, names with Latin roots meaning 'eagerly desired.' Alternatively, it could represent a feminine adaptation of Arvin, which has Germanic origins meaning 'friend of the people' or possibly connects to Old English elements meaning 'eagle friend.' As a standalone name, Arvie has a sweet, vintage quality that fits with the revival of shorter, nickname-style names as formal names. While never achieving widespread popularity, Arvie has appeared consistently but rarely in records throughout the 20th century. The name has a friendly, approachable sound while remaining distinctive. Its brevity makes it practical while still offering a unique identity to its bearers.

Pronounced AR-vee.

As of October 2026, Arvie ranked #3712 in US births in 1944 SSA, peaked at #1035 in 1884.
