Arleane is a rare modern English feminine given name, a decorative respelling of Arlene/Arleen, which themselves developed from Arline and are sometimes treated as Anglicized cousins of Eileen. Its deeper lineage runs through Irish Eibhlín to the Norman French Aveline, typically interpreted as "desired" or "wished for." Cross-influence from the surname Arlen may also have shaped the form, and pronunciation varies (often ar-LEEN).

In usage, Arlene and its family rose in the United States and Canada during the 1930s-1960s, boosted by film star Arlene Dahl and mid-century fashion; the Atlantic storm name Arlene, introduced in 1959, kept it visible. Arleane itself appears sporadically from the late twentieth century onward, chosen by parents seeking a familiar sound with a distinctive look. Related forms include Arlene, Arleen, Arline, Arlena, Arlina, Arlean, and Arlyne; nicknames Arly, Arlie, and Lena.
