How to Pronounce Arnetra
Pronounced ar-NET-ruh /ษหrหnษt.rษ/Medium
Meaning: Arnetra is a modern African American coinage that reworks Arnetta, itself a feminine elaboration of Arnett or Arnold. The added -etra ending gives it a fresh spin, so its appeal lies in its rhythm and family resemblance rather than a traceable literal meaning.Low

History & Origin
Arnetra is a modern American coinage in the Arnetta family, ultimately reaching back to Arnold ('eagle power') and the surname Arnett. Black American families in the early nineteen-seventies enjoyed spinning fresh feminine names from such roots, and Arnetra โ with its distinctive -etra ending โ belongs to that creative moment. It appears only briefly on United States birth records.
It was always very rare, given to only a handful of girls a year even at its high in the mid-nineteen-seventies, so a girl named Arnetra then would be about fifty today. It reads as a coinage of its era; there is little sign of revival.
