Hi, I've been wondering for a LONG time about my youngest sister's middle name, "Achie." My great-grandmother's first name was "Achie." When searching census records, I have noted that the name has been used for males as well as females. (The name "Achie" popped up on census records around the 1850's, I think, so perhaps it is a variant of another name?) I'd like to think that Achie is of Scottish/Welsh origin, since my great-grandmother was of that origin as well. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
