170.0. ""Origin of Arnaud"" by 49801::SCHALK (Mique Schalk) Mon Jan 04 1988 09:41

    We had a baby on the 6th of July 87 and we named him "Arnaud Benoit"
    Does someone know the origin of the 2 names ?
    
    It seems that Arnaud is a very old name (Middle Ages) and was more
    for High Class people than for other. Do you have any idea ?
    
    Thanks for your help...Monique

    Going by my babyname book...
    I found Arnaud under Arnold (Old German) "stong as an eagle; eagle-
    ruler."  I found Benoit under Benedict (Latin) "blessed".
    
    (Good thing you didn't switch the names around! ;-)  )
