<p>Arlis is a masculine name with American folk roots, possibly originating as a variant of the name Arliss. It might be derived from the Old English elements 'earle' meaning 'nobleman' and 'issa' meaning 'ice,' though its exact etymology remains somewhat unclear. The name gained modest recognition in the United States during the early to mid-20th century but has since become quite rare. Arlis has a rustic, distinctive quality that connects to American heartland traditions. The name's uncommonness today makes it an interesting choice for parents seeking a masculine name with historical American resonance but without the popularity of more mainstream choices.</p>
