Origin and meaning of Arden. The meaning of Arden is High land, from a high land. Its origin is English. Recently this name is mostly being used as a unisex name, but historically it's a boy's name. Last year it ranked 1,359th in the U.S. Social Security Administration list of most popular baby names.
This name is of English locational origin from any of three places thus called in Yorkshire North Riding, Cheshire or the Forest of Arden in Warwickshire. The former derives its name from the Olde English pre 7th Century earn, an eagle plus denu a valley. Hence, The valley of the eagles. The latter two places are believed to be linguistically identical with the forest of the Ardennes in France and Belgium, named from the Celtic word ard meaning high. The Warwick Ardens descended from an Anglo-Saxon nobleman called Aelfwine, who was sheriff of that county, circa 1050.
