From ModernAmerican / InventedVariant

Arlet means eagle or pledge — a compact variant of Arlette, from the Germanic. Arlette of Falaise was William the Conqueror's mother — a tanner's daughter who bore the man who conquered England. The compact spelling drops the final -te. Two syllables of eagle-strength, Conqueror's-mother heritage, and the tanner's daughter in the most streamlined form.
