Archibald

Archibald is a distinguished name with Germanic roots, meaning 'genuine, bold'. It carries a certain old-world charm, reminiscent of Victorian England, and was once a popular name among the British aristocracy. This name has seen a revival among parents looking to bring vintage names back into the limelight.

Though Archibald might feel a bit formal or old-fashioned to some, it offers the adorable and well-loved nickname Archie, which can soften its stately presence. Archibald Leach, better known as Cary Grant, is a notable bearer of the name, adding a dash of Hollywood glamour.

For those interested in names with history and character, Archibald is a name that certainly delivers. If Archibald feels too grand, Archie can stand on its own as an alternative, retaining that touch of heritage.
