Meanings and history of the name Tucker

Traditionally an Anglo-Saxon surname that originated as an occupational name. Tuckers were associated with the preparation of cloth and clothing, and with the old English verb "tūcian" ("to torment") which was part of the process of softening cloth. Additionally there is some precedent for a connection with the Gaelic O'Tuachair, used to identify a descendant (historically male) of "the brave one." This is similar to the French sobriquet "tout-coeur" ("all heart").
