Le prénom Arnault est d'origine germanique. Il est dérivé des éléments "arn", qui signifie "aigle", et "wald", qui signifie "règne" ou "pouvoir". Ainsi, Arnault peut être interprété comme "celui qui règne comme un aigle" ou "puissant comme un aigle". Ce prénom est une variante du prénom Arnaud, qui est également couramment utilisé en France et dans d'autres pays francophones.
It is sometimes possible to deduce the origin of a surname by examining maps of the geographical distribution of surnames.
These maps show visually where surnames have appeared over time. For genealogists, this method provides a starting point for research in the country of origin, especially when it is difficult to find this information in documents in the new country of residence. This approach is particularly effective for rare surnames and for families who have lived in the same parts of Europe for centuries.
