Armstrong is a Scottish and northern English surname-turned-given name denoting strength. It derives from Middle English arm + strong, ultimately from Old English arm (limb) and strang (strong), used as a descriptive nickname for a powerful or able fighter. The name is closely linked to the turbulent Border Marches and the notable Clan Armstrong, appearing in records from the 13th–14th centuries.

As a first name, Armstrong is uncommon but recognizable across the English-speaking world, boosted by the 19th‑century fashion for surnames as forenames and by the renown of figures such as astronaut Neil Armstrong and musician Louis Armstrong. Historical spellings include Armstronge, Armstrang, and Armestrang; the informal nickname Army sometimes appears. Usage today is predominantly masculine, with a steady, rare profile in Britain, North America, and parts of West Africa. The meaning “strong-armed” connotes strength, endurance, and reliability.
