Arlis

Arlis is a boy's and girl's baby name of American origin, likely a variant of Arles — a place name from the French city famous for its Roman ruins and Van Gogh's time there — or a creative combination of the prefix Ar- with the -lis suffix. It has been used in the American South as a distinctive given name.

Arlis carries a particular regional charm found in Southern American naming traditions, where inventive combinations produced unique names that became embedded in family lineages. Its two-syllable construction is clean and confident, with a slightly old-fashioned American character.
