'Harry and Meghan couldn't decide...'
in the Netherlands, Meghan Markle revealed that she and Prince Harry almost gave their son Archie a different first name. When introduced to a little boy named Harrison, Meghan told Harrison's mom, Mandy, that she and Harry had nearly given their son the first name Harrison as well—ultimately deciding to give it to Archie as a middle name.
Ultimately, the decision to name their son Archie may have come down to the origins of the word. When Harry and Meghan announced, the organization the couple founded to continue their life of public service, they noted that they had been inspired by the Greek word"arche" for both Archewell and Archie. They said at the time:"Before SussexRoyal came the idea of 'arche'—the Greek word meaning 'source of action.
Traditionally used as a nickname for"Archibald," Archie has become a popular full name in and of itself, especially since Harry and Meghan used it for their first son. In England and Wales,"Archie" was the ninth most popular baby name in 2020 . "Harrison" also has sentimental meaning for the couple—it means"son of Harry." The couple also chose a name with personal meaning for their second child, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor: Lilibet has been Queen Elizabeth's family nickname for decades. Diana, of course, is a nod to Prince Harry's late mother, Princess Diana, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.
