According to Scobie and Durand, a companion of the royal couple revealed to them: "They thought about Archibald for all of one second…. He was always going to be little Archie."

Archibald is derived from the Germanic elements ercan, which means "genuine," while bald means "bold." During the Middle Ages, the name Archibald became widespread in Scotland.
