Pledge, oath, or eagle
Arline is a variant of Arlene, which likely originated as a diminutive of the name Arline or as a feminine form of Charles. It gained popularity in the late 19th century through the opera 'The Bohemian Girl', where the heroine bears this name. Its roots are often linked to the Germanic 'erla' meaning noble or the Gaelic 'airleas' meaning pledge.
