Releasing of Names: Archer

During the naming process we pulled a large amount of the boys names from our family ancestry. Archer had a double source from my family tree. First, Archer is a family name on the Kincaid side of the family. I was able to trace the Archer line back to the mid-15th century. Which stopped at Richard Archer my 17th Great Grandfather. The Archer line originates from England. The surname was derived from Archere and Archier and originated as an occupational name denoting an archer.
