Arundel Origin and Meaning

The name Arundel is a boy's name meaning "swallow or valley".

Upper-crusty English surname which may derive from two sources. The first is Old English meaning "horehound valley", the second is Old French meaning "little swallow", which was originally a Norman nickname given to someone resembling the bird.

An Arundel Tomb by English poet Philip Larkin includes one of his most quoted lines: "What will survive of us is love."
