Arnaut is Germanic in Origin.
Arnaut is the Occitan form of the Germanic name Arnold, built from arn “eagle” and wald “rule, power.” It flourished in medieval southern France among the troubadours - most famously Arnaut Daniel and Arnaut de Mareuil - and appears in records from Provence, Gascony, and Languedoc, with occasional spillover into Catalonia and Iberia. Though rarer today, it survives in Occitan-speaking circles and in historical-literary contexts.
Related forms include Arnaud (modern French), Arnauld (early modern French), Arnau (Catalan), Arnaldo (Spanish, Italian, Portuguese), Arnold/Arnoldus (German/Latin), Arnd/Arndt (German), and Aernout (Dutch); short forms include Arno and Arnie. Feminine counterparts are Arnaude and Arnolda. The core meaning is “eagle ruler” or “power of the eagle,” suggesting keen vision and command. Note that this given name is etymologically distinct from the Ottoman-era ethnonym Arnaut, meaning “Albanian,” despite the identical spelling.
