Comments (Meaning / History Only)

This is my name and my friend said it means cloth filler for people that don't know what it means.
Tucker is the 128th most common surname in the USA. It first arrived in the pre-USA colonies in the 1600s, and has "absorbed" many variations of independent national origin. While Southwest England (ie. Cornwall, Devon, South Wales) is one origin, there is also a proven Irish origin from the Gaelic O'Tuachair, as well as German, Polish and Jewish origins. One sould not be too hasty to presume that all Tuckers are of English origin. (Sources: US Census Bureau, and Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4).
