Archie
Meaning of Archie
Archie (AHR-chee) began as the sprightly nickname for Archibald—an old Germanic charmer meaning “truly brave”—and has since stepped onto center stage with the confidence of a niño at his first fiesta. He carries vintage vibes from the comic-book redhead Archie Andrews, yet feels freshly royal thanks to Prince Harry and Meghan’s little Archie, whose 2019 debut helped the name rocket up the U.S. charts like a bottle of celebratory bubbly. Warm, friendly, and a touch mischievous, Archie invites images of sun-splashed playgrounds and bold adventures, proof that courage can come wrapped in a grin. For parents who want a name that is classic but not stuffy, playful but still gallant, Archie offers a pequeño paquete of joy—short, sweet, and bravely ready to conquer the world.
