Arnatt is Germanic, Norse in Origin.

Arnatt is a rare given name derived from an English-Scottish surname. The surname traces to two roots: a toponymic link to Arnot in Kinross-shire, Scotland, and a patronymic/diminutive connection to the medieval personal name Arnold, transmitted through Old French/Occitan Arnaut or Arnaud. Ultimately it goes back to Old High German elements arn “eagle” and wald “rule, power,” yielding the meaning “eagle ruler” or “power of the eagle.” As a first name, Arnatt fits the modern Anglophone trend of adopting distinctive surnames as given names.

Records from medieval and early modern Britain show fluid spellings, with Arnatt appearing alongside Arnot and Arnott. Today it remains uncommon but appealing for its brisk sound and strong etymology. Variant spellings and related forms include Arnett (English), Arnott/Arnot (Scottish), Arnat/Arnaut (medieval), and cognates Arnold, Arnaud/Arnauld, Arne, and Arno. The name is typically masculine.
