She said:

“I thought his middle name Harrison, means son of Harry. Arch means connection or something I read. They picked a great name. They picked what works for them. But I loved it.”

Gayle King is a close pal of the power couple, and fans will, therefore, think her words to be very important. Ever the supportive friend, the 64-year-old gushed about the couple’s adorable choice of the name while speaking at the CBS Upfront presentation in New York. She said:

“I love the name Archie; it’s so interesting that everybody’s weighing in on the name Archie. It’s nobody’s business. I’m sure they don’t care what we think about the name – they both like it.”

King then went on to laud the pair’s obvious adoration of each other, saying that they have “the country cheering them on.”

THERE ARE OBVIOUS MEANINGS TO ARCHIE'S NAMES

As always, the new parents got the entire media in a frenzy after they revealed that they had chosen to name him, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

With the couple making no move to explain the meanings behind the names, fans deemed it a noble task to do so. The definitions of the names have thus, been revealed with Archie, short for Archibald, meaning “distinguished and bold” and the middle name, Harrison meaning “son of Henry” or “son of Harry.”

There is still no formal statement from the couple to establish the meanings, and avid fans, like Gayle King, are still making guesses at hidden meanings other than the obvious aforementioned.
