According to the research I have done the Tucker name was an orginially Anglo-Saxon name that was given to a fluffer, as person whose job it was to scour and thicken raw cloth by beating it an trampling it in water have derived from the old English word tucian, which originally meant to torment and later given the meaning to tuck or fluff. Occassionally the name Tucker was a nickname surname given to a courageous person. There have been several variations of the spelling> Togker, Tockker, Touker, Toggker, Toger, Tocker, Togger, Toker, Tokker, Tucker, Tukey, Tuckey.
