Archer Family History
Archer Name Meaning
English: from Old French arch(i)er, Middle English
archere, hence an occupational name for an archer. This Norman
French word partially replaced the native English word bowman
in the 14th century. In North America this surname may have absorbed
some cases of European cognates such as French Archier.
