A New Royal is Born… and Named: What’s Behind a Royal Name?

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have given birth to their first child, a baby boy which they have named Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. So what’s behind the name? Archie, although not a traditional royal name, has become quite popular in recent years in Britain. It was the 18h most popular boy’s name in 2017 in England and Wales, and as far as I can tell, it does not have any British royal connotations. Although it is traditionally a shortened version of Archibald, Archie has become a name in its own right. The name means “distinguished, bold, and brave”, and is more popular in Britain than it is in the US. Master Archie’s middle name, Harrison, simply means “son of Harry”. It’s also a completely new name for the Royal Family. Harrison is more common in the UK than it is the US, and was the 34th most popular boy’s name in Britain in 2017.
