What does Buck mean?
/bʌk/1 syllableOrigin: Old English

Buck is an old English word for a male deer or antelope, tracing back to the Old English "bucca" (male goat) and "bucc" (male deer), both rooted in a Proto-Germanic word for a horned male animal. Over time "buck" broadened in English to describe the male of almost any wild animal, from deer to rabbits.

It's a rugged, no-frills name that suits a confident, sturdy pet — one who feels more at home bounding through the yard than curling up on a cushion.
