Archy

Meaning of Archy

The name Archy is a charming and timeless choice for a baby boy, often seen as a diminutive of the name Archibald. Originating from Old German, it means "genuine," "bold," or "brave." Pronounced as AHR-chee (/ˈɑrtʃi/), Archy carries an air of classic sophistication while still feeling modern and approachable. A notable variation of this name is Archie, which has gained popularity in recent years, partly due to its association with the British royal family. Although not overwhelmingly common in the United States, with occurrences ranging from 5 to 7 newborns annually in recent years, Archy remains a distinctive and endearing choice for parents seeking a unique yet familiar name for their son.
