Name originThe name was devised by engineer Geoffrey de Freville. Theories linked it to aluminium and the Latin vis, or to the Norse smith Alvíss, but de Freville rejected them and said the name had no meaning and was simply easy to pronounce in any language.Wikipedia does not state why the company chose the name Arrival. It is an ordinary English word, and the sources used here give no official explanation for the choice.
