I think this is a beautiful name. As someone pointed out earlier, it derives from Arcadia, a rural paradise in southern Greece. There is a Latin proverb, Et in Arcadia ego, which means, I (Death) can be found even in Arcadia. Despite that rather morbid sentiment, I associate the name with a tranquil, beautiful, warm countryside... [noted -ed]

Arcadia is used in Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. So this name does belong to a culture, not just "various". I do like the name, though.

There is a city in Florida by the name of Arcadia. It's mostly where surrounding Floridians go antique shopping, since Arcadia is mainly an antique town. I never knew that this was an actual name used on people, but I had always thought it was pretty. A nickname for Arcadia could be Cadi, like Katie but spelled differently.
