Arletah is Basque in Origin.

Arletah is a modern elaboration of Arletha or Arleta, names that trace back to the French Arlette, the medieval Norman name associated with the mother of William the Conqueror. Arlette itself is widely viewed as a Romance form of the Germanic Herleva/Herleve, likely built from elements for "army, host" and "heritage/legacy" (sometimes interpreted as "beloved"). That etymology gives Arletah the evocative sense of "army's heritage," often interpreted more broadly as "inherited strength" or "legacy of the warrior."

Usage has spanned centuries and cultures: Arlette reappeared in 19th-20th century France and Britain; Arletta and Arletha surfaced in the United States in the early-mid 1900s; Spanish-language Arleth surged in the 2000s; and Arleta is established in Poland. The -ah ending reflects contemporary English naming style. Related variants include Arlette, Arletta, Arletha, Arleth, and Arleta; possible nicknames are Leta, Letty, and Arly.
