Arlet is Catalan, French in Origin.
Arlet is a modern Spanish- and Catalan-leaning spelling of French Arlette, the vernacular form of the medieval Norman name Herleva (also written Herleve/Arlette), borne by the mother of William the Conqueror. Scholars connect the root to Continental Germanic elements hari, “army,” and leuba, “beloved,” giving meanings such as “beloved of the army” or “dearly loved warrior.” In Catalan and Spanish, the clipped final -t feels natural and contemporary.
Documented as Arlette in French records from the 12th century, the name saw steady use in France through the 19th and mid‑20th centuries, later spreading via French and Hispanic media into Latin America. Today Arlet ranks as a stylish, succinct choice in Catalonia and Mexico. Variant forms include Arlette (French), Arlett (English), Arleth (Spanish/Latin America), Arletta and Arleta (Italian/Polish), and the medieval Herleva. Diminutives and nicknames may include Ari and Leti.
