Prince Archie is only 2 months old, and yet he's already proving to be very influential.
Case in point: Nameberry, a baby-name website, just announced that "Archie" is the most popular baby boy name for 2019 so far.
According to the site, the popularity list measures which uncommon baby names are attracting the lion’s share views of its name pages in the first half of 2019. Though Archie has been a top 100 name in England since 2000, the name dropped from the top 1,000 list in the U.S. back in the late 1980s before returning for the first time in 2018 as one of the fastest-rising names in popularity.
Archie has Germanic origins and means “master,” “genuine” and “precious.” It's also got some family meaning. The name Archibald is significant for Prince Harry’s mother, Princess Diana. One of her great ancestors from her Scottish side was Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyll. The name was often associated with the aristocracy in Scotland in the middle ages and early modern ages, during the 14th to 17th centuries.
