The name Archie is a boy's name of German origin meaning "truly brave". Archie and is often added to lists like British Boy Names and discussed in our forums with posts like "Rate the Previous Signature!".
From the experts:
Forget Archie Bunker, forget Archie comics, and take a fresh look at this amiably retro nickname name. It's made a big comeback in the UK--where it's now in the Top 20-- and seems destined for stardom here too now that it's been chosen by funny couple Amy Poehler and Will Arnett for their newborn son--though they did put the full name Archibald on the birth certificate.
Archie can be a female nickname name too--Archie Panjabi, who won an Emmy for her role as Kalinda Sharma in "The Good Wife" in 2010, was born Archana.
