Archimedes Origin and Meaning
The name Archimedes is a boy's name of Greek origin meaning "master planner".
Archimedes of Syracuse was a famous Ancient Greek thinker, especially in the fields of mathematics and sciences. He made important contributions to geometry and calculus. His name was a perfect choice, meaning "master planner" or "master thinker".
This off-the-beaten-track choice of name was given to about 20 little boys in the US last year, double the number as were called Archimedes a decade ago. We recommend it to more parents, especially those with a penchant for all things ancient or mathematical.
And you can always call him the down-to-earth Archie.
