History & Origin
Arvie most likely began as a short, affectionate form of a longer Ar- name such as Arvilla, given as a stand-alone first name in the early twentieth century. It doubles as a male name linked to the Norse Arvid, so the girl route is a little uncertain, which we note.
It was always rare, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak around 1917, and faded by mid-century. A girl named Arvie then would be a great-grandmother today.
