Archibald Family History
Archibald Name Meaning
Scottish: from a Scottish personal name, Archibald, of
Anglo-Norman French and (ultimately) Continental Germanic origin (see
Archambault). In the Highlands of Scotland it was taken as an
Anglicized equivalent of the Gaelic personal name Gille Easbaig
‘servant of the bishop’ (see Gillespie), probably because of
the approximate phonetic similarity between Arch(i)bald and
easbaig. Both Archibald and Gillespie are
personal names much favored among Clan Campbell.
