Arlette

US Popularity Rank: 1422

Origin: German

Meaning: Army legacy; Noble warrior

Arlette is an unusual French feminine name whose melodic sound suggests a fairytale quality. The name's origins are traced to the Old German Herleva. There are two possibilities for its composition, one leading to the meaning of “army legacy” and the other describing your little one as a "noble warrior." Boasting beauty and brawn, Arlette may allude to happily ever afters, but its bearer is one unafraid to write their own narrative.
