Meaning & origin

Arvle is a rare masculine name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1914. While its exact origins are unclear, it may be a variant of Arvel. The name achieved its greatest popularity in the 1920s, with a peak in use in 1928, but never broke into the top 1000. It has remained stable but extremely uncommon, with no recorded usage in recent years. Though it lacks notable bearers, Arvle represents a distinctive choice from the early 20th-century American naming tradition.

Arvle first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1914. It may be a variant of Arvel, itself possibly derived from the Hebrew name Ariel meaning 'lion of God,' but this connection is uncertain. Alternatively, Arvle could be a modern invention combining a fashionable sound pattern with the -le suffix. The name saw modest use in the early 20th century, particularly in the 1920s, but has since become very rare.
