What does Archer mean?
/ˈɑɹ.t͡ʃɚ/2 syllablesOrigin: a surname

Archer began as an English occupational surname for someone who shot with a bow and arrow, later adopted as a given name in its own right. The word itself traces back to the Latin arcus, meaning "bow."

Sharp and a little bit noble-sounding, Archer suits a pet with focus and precision — alert, quick, and always tracking what's going on around them. It has an outdoorsy, capable feel.
