English origin
“An English surname-turned-given name, Tuck derives from the occupation of 'tucker' (one who fulls cloth), or alternatively from the Middle English 'tuc' (to pull/tuck). The name has a compact, energetic sound and carries charming vintage Americana appeal. It works well as both a full given name and a nickname, with spunky, approachable character.”
