About Arline
Arline is a feminine name with several possible origins. It may be a variant of Arlene, derived from the Gaelic name Airlín, which possibly means 'pledge' or is associated with the word for 'promise.' Others suggest it may have Germanic roots related to 'noble' or 'eagle.' Arline gained moderate popularity in the United States during the early 20th century, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s, but has since become less common. The name has a vintage charm with its soft sounds and flowing rhythm. While no longer in the top naming charts, Arline appeals to parents seeking a classic name that isn't overused. Its simplicity and elegance, combined with historical usage without being antiquated, give it a timeless quality.
Arline is also given to boys.
Pronounced AR-leen.
