A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

An eminent Cornish family in the XIV. cent. wrote themselves Archdekne. The cognate name Archidiacre occurs in France, from which country the English family would appear to have migrated, since three cheverons form the main feature of the arms of both families, as well as of another English family named Archidecknie.
