Meaning & Origin
Arnolds is the Latvian form of Arnold, a name stemming from the Old German Arenaldo and ultimately the Proto-Germanic elements arna- 'eagle' and wald 'power'. First recorded in Latvia in 1590, Arnolds has been a part of Latvian onomastics for centuries. Its root name Arnold traveled through the Normans to England, displacing the Old English cognate Earnweald, and enjoyed a revival in the 19th century after fading in the Middle Ages.
