Re: Arden...
You can eliminate the alleged Latin Great Forest straight away! And in latin, as in English, Ardent means Burning, though in Latin it can have a literal or a figurative meaning and in English only figurative, and indeed voluntary. You wouldn't be ardent with fever, though you might be ardently in support of or opposed to something, I think! Usually used about love, anyway.
