Arnolde is in Origin.

Arnolde is a rare medieval spelling of Arnold, a Germanic name from Old High German arn “eagle” + wald “rule, power,” hence “eagle‑ruler” or “one who governs with the strength of an eagle.” The form entered England with the Normans; medieval Latin Arnoldus/Arnaldus and Old French Arnaut/Arnaud account for the variable endings, and the terminal -e reflects Middle English and French orthography rather than a different pronunciation.

Recorded in English and Low Countries charters from the 12th century onward, it was borne by figures such as St. Arnold of Soissons and later by merchants and soldiers across the German-speaking world. Today Arnolde survives chiefly in archival documents and occasional surnames, especially in francophone records. Standard variants include Arnold, Arnould, Arnaud, and Arnauld; southern counterparts Arnaldo (Italian/Portuguese) and Arnoldo (Spanish/Italian). Diminutives and short forms: Arnie, Arn, Arnd, Arent/Arendt, Noldi; feminine forms: Arnolda and Arnaude.
