Meanings and history of the name Arbor

A shady sitting place, usually in a park or garden, and usually surrounded by climbing shrubs or vines and other vegetation. A grove of trees.

From Middle English arbour, from Old French erbier ‎(“field, meadow, kitchen garden”), from erbe ‎(“grass, herb”), from Latin herba ‎(“grass, herb”) (English herb). (Compare Late Latin herbarium, although erbier is possibly an independent formation.) The phonetic change to ar- was influenced by Latin arbor ‎(“tree”).
