Meaning & background
(AR-wah): graceful mountain goat or fresh, satiating. Meanings vary a bit, but the name has real old-world charm. Stateside, it enters U.S. records in 1975. It has been picking up quiet momentum lately, though it stays below the top 1,000. Roughly 1,400 people have been given the name to date — a true rarity.
