What does Tucker mean?
/ˈtʌkɚ/2 syllablesOrigin: a surname

Tucker began as an English occupational surname for a "tucker," someone who finished or thickened cloth by fulling it. Surnames like this crossed over into use as given names in the 20th century, valued for their solid, workmanlike sound.

Tucker has a sturdy, all-American feel, well suited to a pet with a dependable, good-natured personality. It sounds equally at home on a big, easygoing dog or a scrappy little one.
