It is derived from the town of Arbon in eastern France, which was once an important commercial center during the Middle Ages. The town's strategic location on the Rhône River made it a crucial hub for trade and commerce, contributing to its growth and prosperity. The name Arbon is believed to have originated from the Roman settlement that once existed in the area, known as Arabo or Arebo. Over time, these names evolved into what we now know as Arbon. The town's history dates back to at least the 1st century BC when it was settled by Celtic tribes. As a given name, Arbon is quite rare and unique.
