Arlynne is a distinctive and unique female given name of American origin, derived from the combination of two popular names, Arlington and Lynne. The name Arlington itself is inspired by Arlington House in Virginia, once owned by George Washington's stepson, John C. Calhoun. The suffix Lynne likely stems from the feminine form of Lynn, which means "waterfall" or "lake" in Welsh. Thus, Arlynne can be interpreted as a blend of these meanings, signifying strength and beauty. This name gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century and has since maintained a steady presence among baby names. It is often associated with individuals who are independent, creative, and have a strong sense of self. The name Arlynne also possesses an elegant sound and offers a sophisticated alternative to more common names.
"Arlynne was quite popular as a baby girl name in the mid-20th century, with peaks in 1938 and 1940, but it seems to have fallen out of favor by the end of the century."
