Archibald
Vintage masculine moniker
Archibald is a masculine given name of Germanic origin, traditionally suggesting boldness or valor.
Once common in Scottish and English aristocratic families, it now sounds old-fashioned or formal: Nobody calls him Archibald—just Archie.
The nickname Archie has largely overtaken the full form in contemporary use.
