Eagle or noble
Arrie is often used as a diminutive of names starting with Ar-, such as Aria or Adriana, but it most traditionally serves as a pet form of names like Ariel or Arline. In a Germanic context, it is linked to the element 'arn', meaning eagle, while in other traditions it is viewed as a simplified variant of the Greek name Ariadne.
