Consider their names. We have Albus, Aberforth, and now Arabella. 
Now, before you start posting about how weak that is, remember the 
Lucius/Lupin connection Pippin came up with, and the missing "D" 
child of the Weasley's. * And * Harry says she's a "mad old 
lady."  :o)  (ss/ps pg 22 scholastic).

May I offer as an alternate theory, Arabella McGonagall?

In SS Chapter 14 and PoA Chapter 13, McGonagall appears in a tartan 
bathrobe/dressing gown. In OoP Chapter 1, Mrs. Figg appears in tartan 
carpet slippers.

Minerva was the Roman goddess of war. There are many possible 
meanings for "ara" and "bella" but two are "altar" and "war."

Just thought I'd throw that out there.
