Arnaldo Coat of Arms and Surname Origin

Before spelling settled in the modern era, so Arnold could easily become Arnaldo. Read literally, Arnaldo points to “Eagle power”.

Heraldry and the Arnaldo name

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Arnaldo, so the heraldry linked to Arnold is a starting point, not an automatic right.

How the spelling arose

Records show Arnaldo as one of the forms Arnold took over time. Before spelling was standardised, one family could appear under several forms. Related forms: Arnould, Arnoldt and Arnolds.

In the 2010 US Census, 213 Americans gave Arnaldo as their last name (rank 87,335). Spanish statistics put 417 people with Arnaldo in first position and 415 in second. Get the complete Arnaldo report, with a museum-style coat of arms.
