Archie

Scottish, English

Diminutive of Archibald. This name is borne by Archie Andrews, an American comic-book character created in 1941, meaning "Derived from the Germanic elements ercan "genuine" and bald "bold". The first element was altered due to the influence of Greek names beginning with the element αρχος (archos) meaning "master". The Normans brought this name to England. It first became common in Scotland in the Middle Ages."
