Algie Origin and Meaning

The name Algie is a boy's name.

Algie is a vintage masculine name that originated as a diminutive of names beginning with 'Alg-' such as Algernon or Albert. With Old French and Germanic roots, it gained modest popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in Britain and America. The name has a gentle, somewhat whimsical quality that reflects naming styles of bygone eras. Algie fell from common usage by the mid-20th century, now carrying a distinctive old-fashioned charm that might appeal to parents drawn to the revival of antique names. Its brevity and friendly sound give it accessibility, while its vintage nature makes it stand out among contemporary choices. Despite its rarity today, Algie represents the cyclical nature of naming trends as vintage options find new appreciation.
