What is the meaning of the name Arline ?

The baby name Arline is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈɑːrlaɪn/ (AR-line) or /ɑrˈliːn/ (ar-LEEN).

Arline is English, French in Origin.

Arline is an English feminine given name that developed as both a spelling variant of Arlene/Arleen, a 20th‑century American coinage, and through convergence with Aline/Adeline. Via the Aline/Adeline pathway it inherits the Germanic root adal, “noble,” which is the meaning most often associated with the name; the Arlene route is generally considered an invented elaboration with no distinct etymology. Related forms and spellings include Arlene, Arleen, Arlyne, Arlina, Arlyn, and Arly; cognate links connect it to Aline, Adeline, and Adelina.

Arline entered English-language use in the early 1900s, rose to modest prominence in mid‑century America, and has since become a vintage choice with periodic revivals. Notable bearers include film actress Arline Judge and Arline Feynman (née Greenbaum), known from Richard Feynman’s letters. The name offers a tailored, gently antique sound while remaining straightforward and familiar.
