Hare meadow or eagle wood
Arlee is a variant of the English surname Harley or Arley. It typically derives from Old English elements meaning 'hare' and 'wood' or 'clearing', though some etymologies link it to the word for eagle. It has evolved into a modern, gender-neutral choice with a soft, phonetic appeal.
