What is the meaning of the name Arnas ?

The baby name Arnas is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈɑr.nɑs/ (AHR-nahs).

Arnas is Lithuanian in Origin.

Arnas is a Lithuanian masculine given name, used both independently and as a short form of Arnoldas. Its deeper roots lie in the Old High German elements arn “eagle” and wald “rule, power,” yielding the sense “eagle ruler” or leadership marked by the eagle’s strength and keen sight. Through this Germanic base, Arnas connects to a broad European tradition and shares ancestry with English and German Arnold and French Arnaud, among others.

In Lithuania the name gained steady visibility in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, helped by athletes such as basketball players Arnas Butkevičius and Arnas Velička. Related forms include the Lithuanian Arnoldas; international cognates and variants are Arnold, Arno, Arnau (Catalan), Arnaldo/Arnoldo (Romance languages), and Arnie/Arni as nicknames.
