Tuck

Tuck comes from a fascinating blend of English roots, carrying meanings that evoke a sense of craftsmanship and care. It's derived from the Middle English 'tukken', which means 'to pull or gather something into folds', and the Old English 'tucian', meaning 'to clothe or dress'. This gives Tuck a practical, down-to-earth feel, reminiscent of someone who is both hands-on and nurturing. The name feels like a warm hug—friendly and protective, making it a unique choice with a traditional twist.

In terms of popularity, Tuck has had quite an interesting journey. It disappeared from the charts after 1925 and made a surprising comeback in 2006. The name experienced a significant leap, jumping 3285 spots between 2011 and 2012, reaching its best rank at #3582 in 2013. However, it has seen a decline in recent years, with its latest rank being #6171 in 2024. Despite these fluctuations, Tuck remains a distinctive choice that stands out in its rarity.

Tuck embodies a casual yet traditional style, fitting for someone who is approachable and grounded. It's the kind of name that suggests a friendly demeanor and a protective nature—qualities that are timeless and endearing. Whether as a first name or a nickname, Tuck offers a charming blend of history and personality.
