What is the meaning of the name Arnat ?

Arnat is in Origin.

Arnat is a rare masculine given name and surname-derived form anchored in the Germanic Arn- “eagle.” It is most plausibly a regional spelling of Arnot/Arnott or a clipped offshoot of Arnold (Old High German arn “eagle” + walt “rule/power”), yielding the meaning “eagle ruler” or “ruler as strong as an eagle.”

The wider Arnold family of names was well used across medieval Europe; compare French Arnaud and Occitan Arnaut (borne by the troubadour Arnaut Daniel). In Scotland, Arnot/Arnott arose from a Fife place-name and later entered given-name use; modern records show occasional Arnat/Arnatt in Britain and North America from the 19th century onward. Variants and cognates include Arnot, Arnott, Arnatt, Arnett, Arnet, Arnaud, Arnaut, Arno, and Arnold; diminutives/nicknames: Arnie, Naldo, Ari. Pronunciation: AR-naht or AR-not. Usage remains uncommon and stylistically crisp, appealing to those seeking a lean, heritage-rich alternative to Arnold or Arnaud.
