Arlee

Arlee is a girl’s name that hails from England. A respelling of Arley, Arlee is a combination of the Old English element lēah, meaning "meadow," and another unknown element. Possibilities include earn, meaning "eagle," and hār, meaning "hare" or "grey," creating translations like "eagle meadow," "hare meadow," and "grey meadow." Conjuring up images of animals grazing in grassy fields, Arlee has an earthy and grounding feel. This moniker could also be a shortened form of Arline, a name invented by Michael William Balfe for a character in his opera The Bohemian Girl. When little Arlee hears birds singing, they might just want to join in!
