Arrington, pronounced uh-RING-tun (/əˈrɪŋ.tən/), is a unisex given name of English origin, originally a habitational surname from Cambridgeshire.

Over the past five decades in the United States, Arrington has maintained a modest but consistent presence among newborns—registering between five and nineteen occurrences annually and fluctuating within ranks 658 to 934.
