By the 13th century, the village was known as Aring(e)ton(e). The probable meaning was 'farmstead of the family or followers of a man called Earn(a)'. Flint tools have been found along the spring line around Church Farm.

The parish council has seven councillors. Arrington is represented on South Cambridgeshire District Council by two councillors for Gamlingay ward and on Cambridgeshire County Council by one councillor for Gamlingay electoral division. Arrington's Member of Parliament in the House of Commons is the Member for South Cambridgeshire, Andrew Lansley.
