It is not a town name, so it must be a family name. Now on the other hand we have Mary of Burgundy- who was a noblewoman who eventually became a Queen. Marie de Bourgogne, In French- Mary of Burgundy. Arc was evidentally a family name. oddly, Arc en ciel absolutely ( no other common use in French) invariably means a RAINBOW. the phrase literally means Arc in the Heavens or sky ( curved). This phenomenon is NOT associated with the most famous Female Knight- though there were others- such as Queen Isabella of Spain and a Countess Matilda of Tuscany, who survived their missions!

The "Arc" in Saint Joan of Arc refers to the character's full name, Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc was a real historical figure who lived in the 15th century and played a significant role in the Hundred Years' War between France and England. She claimed to have been guided by divine voices and led the French army to several victories before being captured and ultimately executed for heresy.
