[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have become independent from the British royal family, have decided to name their new charity organization "Archewell," The Guardian reported on the 7th (local time).

Archewell is derived from the Greek word "Arche," meaning "source of action."

The couple stated, "Archewell is an ancient word meaning strength and action, combining words that awaken a vital resource we each must rely on," adding, "We look forward to using it when the time is right."

They also added that their son Archie's name was inspired by Arche. Archie's full name is "Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor."

The charity organization the couple is preparing has had its full activities delayed due to the recent spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

It is reported that the couple already applied to register the name Archewell in the United States last month.

Originally, Prince Harry and Meghan planned to use the name "Sussex Royal" for their charity, but they gave it up after becoming independent from the royal family.

The couple had widely used the Sussex Royal title. Even after their independence from the royal family, it is known that they took steps to register the title as a proprietary brand.

However, after discussions with royal family members, they decided not to use the term "royal," which signifies the royal family, as they retired from official duties.

Accordingly, the Sussex Royal Instagram account was recently closed.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved last month from Canada, where they had been staying, to Los Angeles (LA), United States.
