What does Parker mean?
/ˈpɑɹkɚ/2 syllablesOrigin: a surname

Parker began as an English occupational surname for someone who managed or guarded a park — the keeper of an enclosed hunting ground or estate grounds — before crossing over into use as a first name.

It has a clean, capable sound, at home on a pet with an outdoorsy streak or a naturally attentive, watchful manner. Sturdy and approachable, it suits a companion who seems perfectly at ease patrolling their own territory.
