Arundle is English in Origin.

Arundle is a rare variant spelling of Arundel, an English toponymic name from the historic town in West Sussex. The place-name is commonly analyzed as the River Arun plus Old English dell ‘valley,’ yielding the sense ‘valley of the Arun’ or ‘dell by the river’. A long-circulated folk etymology links it to Latin hirundo ‘swallow’, echoed in the town’s heraldry, but modern place-name scholars generally prefer the Arun-plus-dell explanation.

As a personal name, Arundle fits the surname-as-first-name trend. It stems from the medieval surname and noble title borne by the Earls of Arundel (notably the FitzAlan and later Howard families), alongside the prominent Cornish Arundell line. Rare as a given name until the 19th century, it remains uncommon and broadly unisex in Britain and other Anglophone regions. Established variants and spellings include Arundel (standard), Arundell, Arundale, and Arundle; related historical forms sometimes appear with the particle de Arundel.
