Arlo

Arlo is a name that is quite rare, especially in recent years. It comes from the Anglo-Saxon words ‘hoer' and 'here’, which have a few translations including ‘war’, ‘army’ and ‘fortified’ and ‘hlaw’ meaning ‘hill’ or ‘mound’. So, the meaning of Arlo is one who resides on 'a fortified mound' or 'a fortified hill'. It could also take its meaning from the Celtic name 'Aherlow’, which has a similar translation of ‘a region between two vast highlands’. The name Arlo can also be seen as the masculine form of the Irish name Arlene, which meant 'pledge' in Celtic’. This name increased in popularity due to the work of English poet Sir Edmund Spenser, who mentioned the fictional ‘Arlo’ Hill in his epic literary work, “The Faerie Queene”. Written in 1590, it is one of the longest poems in the history of the English language. Other famous Arlos include the famous American artist, Arlo Guthrie, and the recent musical sensation, Arlo Parks, a British singer-songwriter.
