The English surname Arledge is of patronymic origin derived from the personal names Ælfric ‘elf ruler’ and Æ{dh}elric ‘noble ruler’. A few bearers of the name are recorded in southern England in the 17th–19th centuries, but the name appears to have died out in Britain. The name is still found in the United States with most bearers living in Texas and Ohio at the time of the 1920 US census. A notable bearer of the name was Roone Pickney Arledge Jr. the American sports broadcaster.
