Pledge, oath, or eagle
Arleny is a modern feminine elaboration of Arlene or Arlen. It likely derives from the Gaelic word for 'pledge' or 'oath', though some etymologies link it to the Germanic elements for 'eagle'. It is primarily used in Spanish-speaking communities as a rhythmic, contemporary variation.
