Pronunciation
Ar-low
Meaning
Associated with Aherlow, meaning between two highlands. This is an Irish place connection rather than a settled origin for Arlo
Fun fact
Arlo is used as a name inspired by Aherlow in Co Tipperary, not too far from the Rock of Cashel. Aherlow's Irish place-name meaning is connected with land between highlands. So I'm including Arlo for that Irish place connection, rather than as a traditional Irish given name.
Popularity in Ireland
Figures for the spelling Arlo, Republic of Ireland.
The CSO only publishes names given to three or more babies in a year. “Less than 3” means zero, one or two babies, and these years appear as gaps on the graph.
Number of babies registered each year
From 2018, spellings with and without fadas are counted separately. Earlier figures group these spellings together, so the graph has a break at 2018.
