Tucker
Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Tucker: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2018.
Tucker started life as an English occupational surname, describing a cloth fuller who softened raw fabric through beating and trampling—a process known as "tucking." It has long been a given name in America, but in Scotland it gained steady use from the late 20th century onward. Notable bearers include broadcaster Tucker Carlson and author Tucker Max, along with journalist Tucker Reed. The name shares its root with the verb "to tuck," but also echoes the Old English *tucian*, meaning "to torment" or "to trouble"—a poetic contrast to its friendly modern sound. As a first name, Tucker feels both rugged and approachable, reminiscent of the outdoorsy characters it often names in film and television.
