10 cool royal-inspired baby names for boys

May 12, 2020 - 17:17 UTC By Karen Silas

If you are looking for a baby name for boys that is modern and has royal roots, look no further! We’ve put together the perfect list of ten names that fit the bill. Lots of relatively recent royal babies have been given names with long and venerable histories, thus reviving their popularity for today’s culture –  Prince William  and  Kate Middleton ’s sons George and Louis, for example. And at the same time there is an increasing number of royal parents who are forging their own histories with their baby’s unique name. The first that comes to mind is of course,  Prince Harry  and  Meghan Markle ’s son  Archie Harrison , whose name doesn’t have any roots in the British Royal Family. That said, we’re sure the popularity of his first and middle names will be on the rise in the future, both within royal circles and beyond. So, with no further ado, here are 10 cool royalty-inspired baby names for boys.

ALEXANDER

Alexander is a name of Greek origin which means ‘protector of men.’ While royals named Alexander include Alexander III of Macedon, commonly known as Alexander the Great, the name has also been used in modern times, giving it a whole new life. Alexander is what Prince Carl-Philip and Princess Sofia of Sweden named their son, pictured, and Prince William and Duchess Kate‘s elder son Prince George has Alexander as one of his middle names.

ARCHIE

Archie is a Germanic name that combines two words: erchan, meaning ‘genuine’ and bald, meaning ‘bold.’ The name Archie will no doubt gain in popularity since it was chosen by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as the name for their first son in 2019.

HARRISON

Prince Harry and Meghan’s adorable son Archie has Harrison as his second name. Harrison is a name of English origin, which literally means ‘son of Harry’ – an appropriate moniker for the Prince’s first born. Since Harrison is more commonly a surname, baby Archie is pioneering the name’s royal heritage, although the king of Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies, Harrison Ford, is still an impressive if not royal reference.

LOUIS

Louis is of Germanic roots and means ‘famous warrior.’ In terms of royal associations, there are a number of French kings named Louis, including King Louis XVI of France, who was married to Marie Antoinette. Most recently though, Duchess Kate named her third child, pictured, Louis, which happens to be one of his father Prince William’s middle names.

JACQUES

Jacques – the name of Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco ’s son – is the perfect name to embody French influence and is a form of Jacob or James. Originally based on the Hebrew name Yaakov, which translates as ‘one who follows’ or more literally, ‘he who grasps the heel.’ A fairly appropriate name for Prince Jacques of Monaco, who will be following his father’s footsteps as Reigning Prince one day.

OSCAR

Oscar is a top name in the Swedish Royal House, with Prince Oscar, son of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, the latest royal baby to be given the moniker. The name, derived from Irish and which means ‘deer-loving one,’ has been held by such royal luminaries as Swedish Kings Oscar I and Oscar II during the 19th century but has had renewed popularity thanks to the young Prince.

VINCENT

Denmark’s future Queen, Australia-born Crown Princess Mary , named her youngest son Vincent, which is of Latin origin – rooted in the word vincere – and means conquering or victorious. While there’s not a major royal history behind the Prince’s name, it does have artistic flair from famed artists like Vincent van Gogh and sculptor Vincent Apap.
