Arnhold is Germanic in Origin.
Arnhold is a Germanic given name and surname, a regional spelling of Arnold. It derives from Old High German arn/aran “eagle” + waltan/‑wald “rule, power,” yielding the sense “eagle ruler” or “ruler with the strength and vision of an eagle.” The inserted h reflects historical orthography in German and Central European records rather than a change in meaning.
Use of the base name spread across medieval Europe through Frankish and German courts and the Church, borne by figures such as Saint Arnold of Soissons and the reformer Arnold of Brescia; Arnhold as a personal name surfaces in German parish books from the early modern era and later stabilized as a hereditary surname. Related forms include Arnold, Arnolt, Arnholdt; Romance and continental variants Arnaud (French), Arnoud/Aernout (Dutch), Arnaldo/Arnoldo (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese); short forms Arno, Arne, Naldo, and Arnie. Feminine: Arnolda, Arnalda, Arnaude.
Arnhold is exceptionally rare. There are only 11 recorded uses on record, spread over 9 countries.
