Arney is English, Scandinavian in Origin.
Arney is a rare English given name with roots in the Germanic arn, 'eagle.' It most often arises as a diminutive or variant of Arnold or Arne (Scandinavian Árni), names built on the same arn- element; when linked to Arnold (arn + wald 'rule'), the sense extends to 'eagle ruler' or 'power of the eagle.' The spelling also occurs as a transferred use of the surname Arney, itself derived from those forenames or from the Irish place-name Arney in County Fermanagh.
As a given name, Arney appears sporadically in British and North American records from the 19th century onward, with modest usage in Scandinavian-descended communities. It remains uncommon today, occasionally chosen as a modern, surname-style or nickname-like option and sometimes used unisex. Variants and cognates include Arne, Árni, Arni, Arnie, Arny, Arno, Arnaud, and Arnold; a feminine counterpart is Arna.
