The surname Tucker, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back centuries. It is derived from the Old English word "tucian," meaning "to torment" or "to tease." The name was originally thought to be a nickname for someone who enjoyed playing practical jokes.
In Ireland, the surname Tucker is most commonly associated with the province of Munster. The name first appeared in the medieval records of Ireland, indicating that it has a long history on the island. It is believed that the Tucker family originally migrated to Ireland from England during the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century.
Over time, the Tucker surname spread throughout Ireland, particularly in counties such as Cork, Kerry, and Limerick. The family established themselves in various professions, including farming, trade, and craftsmanship. They became well-respected members of their communities, contributing to the local economy and society.
Today, the Tucker surname can still be found among the Irish diaspora around the world, as many Irish people emigrated during times of economic hardship. The name carries with it a sense of Irish identity, heritage, and resilience.
