Arndis is Icelandic, Norse in Origin.
Arndis is a Nordic feminine given name from Old Norse Arndís (arn ‘eagle’ + dís ‘goddess, lady; protective spirit’). It conveys the sense “eagle goddess/spirit” or “eagle-woman,” pairing a powerful animal emblem with a revered female figure of Norse belief. The Arn- element is widespread across Germanic names, linking Arndis to the broader eagle-name tradition.
Documented in medieval Icelandic records and preserved through the Icelandic naming system, Arndís remains in steady use in Iceland and at times in the Faroe Islands, while appearing only rarely elsewhere in Scandinavia and in Anglicized form among the diaspora. Principal variants are Arndís (Icelandic standard) and Arndis (without diacritics); occasional short forms include Dísa. Cognates and related names built on the same first element include Arna and Arnheiður, while -dís compounds such as Herdís and Freydís share the second element.
