Arnay is Norse, Scandinavian in Origin.
Arnay is a rare given name with several plausible pathways. It appears in modern use from the late 20th century, especially in English- and French-speaking communities, sometimes as a unisex choice. The form aligns with a French habitational surname taken from the Burgundian town Arnay-le-Duc, which has occasionally been repurposed as a given name. It is also understood as a spelling variant within the Germanic Arn- family (Arne, Arno, Arnold, Arnaud), making it familiar yet distinctive.
When connected to the Arn- root, Arnay traces to Proto-Germanic arn- “eagle,” yielding readings such as “eagle” or, by association with Arnold/Arnaud, “eagle power” or “ruler, strong as an eagle.” Phonetic and stylistic cousins include Arney, Arné, Arnai, Arne, and Arno; feminine or parallel forms include Arna and Arnie. Possible nicknames are Ari, Arny, and Nay. Usage remains uncommon, lending Arnay a sleek, contemporary feel.
