Source etymology 1
Original entry ↗Ellipsis of Isle of Arran, Scotland. · A male given name transferred from the place name, of modern Scottish usage. · A village in Saskatchewan, Canada. · Synonym of Arranmore (island in County Donegal, Ireland)
Derived from Scottish Gaelic Arainn, but the name is ultimately probably of non-Indo-European (substrate) or Pictish origin, along with other uncertain names in Scotland such as Skye, Lewis, and Islay. Possibly from a Brythonic/Pictish term ancestral or cognate to Middle Welsh aran (“"high place"”).
