📖 About Fletch
Fletch is a punchy English masculine name derived from Fletcher, rooted in Old French fleche (arrow) and the occupational tradition of arrow-making. The fletcher was a vital craftsman in medieval England, where the longbow decided battles like Crécy and Agincourt. As a standalone name, Fletch has the informal energy of a nickname given full status — short, strong, and slightly unexpected. It gained pop-culture prominence via Chevy Chase's 1985 film *Fletch*, cementing its association with wit and irreverence.
