From French

Arleth means eagle or pledge — possibly from the Old English or Germanic, a variant of Arlette used in Spanish-speaking cultures. Arlette was William the Conqueror's mother — the tanner's daughter who bore the man who conquered England. The TH-ending gives it a slightly more distinctive visual form. Three syllables of eagle-strength, Conqueror's-mother heritage, and the tanner's daughter who changed history.
