Arnas is a Lithuanian given name, typically a short form of Arnoldas or derived directly from "arnas," meaning "eagle" – a symbol of strength and vision in Baltic folklore. While rare in Scotland, it has gained modest use among families with Lithuanian heritage, reflecting the country’s growing diversity. Famous bearers include Lithuanian basketball player Arnas Butkevičius, who has competed internationally, and footballer Arnas Zborauskas. The name shares its eagle-root with the English Arnold and the Old Norse Arni, though it remains distinctively Eastern European in feel. No major places are named after an Arnas, but the eagle motif naturally links to the Scottish Highlands, where golden eagles still soar – a quiet connection between the name’s origin and the landscape of its adoptive home.
