Arlyne is English in Origin.
Arlyne is a modern English feminine given name, a rare variant of Arline and Arlene. Arline entered English via Michael William Balfe’s popular 1843 opera The Bohemian Girl, whose heroine bore the name; Arlene rose in the United States in the 1910s–1950s amid the vogue for -lene/-line endings. Arlyne appears sporadically in 20th‑century records as an alternative spelling, and today reads as a vintage choice.
Its meaning is debated. Many etymologists link the Arline/Arlene family to Aveline - source of Evelyn and Eileen - yielding senses such as “desired” and, by medieval French association, “hazelnut.” Others view the Arl‑ names as modern formations built on the surname/placename element Arl‑ (as in Arlen, Arley) plus the feminine suffix -ine/-ene, giving no single original meaning. Variants and cognates include Arline, Arlene, Arleen, Arlyn/Arlynn, Arlena, and Arlina; nicknames include Arly, Ari, and Lena.
