Arlie is English in Origin.
Arlie is an English given name drawn from the surname Arley/Arleigh, itself rooted in Old English place-names. The element leah means wood, meadow, or clearing; the initial element varies by locality - often earn “eagle,” sometimes hara “hare,” or eorl “nobleman” - so the sense ranges from “eagle clearing” to “hare meadow” or “noble’s wood.” In America it also functioned as a pet form of Arlene/Arline, which helped fix its status as a truly unisex choice.
Documented in US records from the late 1800s, Arlie rose for boys through the 1900s–1930s, with sporadic but steady use for girls; today it fits contemporary gender-neutral trends. Spelling variants and cognates include Arley, Arleigh, Arlee, and Arly; elaborations such as Arleigha appear in modern usage. The name blends a rustic, nature-tinged meaning with a vintage, surname-style sound.
