The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have announced their royal baby as Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. He is now placed seventh in line to the throne and unlike his cousins’ names, he doesn’t have an official royal name. Historically, Archie was a contraction of the name ‘Archibald’ which means ‘truly brave’, but today Archie is a fully governed name.
Archibald isn’t the most common name today in the UK. In Scotland, Archie is the 3rd most popular name and is still 18th most popular name for boys in England and Wales and 147th most popular in the world.
