Arnd is Germanic in Origin.
Arnd is a contracted German and Low German masculine given name derived from Arnold, built from the Old High German/Proto-Germanic elements arn ‘eagle’ and wald ‘rule, power.’ It therefore carries the sense ‘eagle ruler,’ ‘ruler of eagles,’ or more loosely ‘eagle-strong.’ In northern dialects it can also reflect the cognate Arend/Arent.
The name appears in medieval German and Frisian records and persisted in Northern Germany and the Netherlands; today it is uncommon but familiar, borne by figures such as the German biathlete Arnd Peiffer. As a forename it sometimes alternates with the spelling Arndt, which is more frequent as a surname. Close variants and cognates include Arend/Arent (Dutch/Low German), Arne and Arnt (Scandinavian), Arnold and Arnoud (Dutch), Arnaud (French), Aernout (Dutch), and Arnoldo/Arnaldo (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese).
