Processing Cloth

Fuller, Walker and Tucker are three names where a beer reminds us about the first and a blended Whiskey about the second. The Oxford Dictionary of English Surnames explains the connection. When people spoke Old English, cloth was manually processed in water to scour and thicken it.
From the beginning, the cloth was trampled on whilst in water. These activities created the family name Walker. The process was somewhat later known as "fulling" and there we have the Fuller. It was also called "tucking" after the Old English word "tucian" which meant to torment. This gave us the name Tucker.
