If your little bun has just come out of the oven, consider Becker for their delicious self! A gender-neutral name of German and Dutch origin, Becker means “baker.” Derived from the German word backen, the Danish word bechere, and even the Yiddish word beker, this moniker was first used by those who had taken up the occupation of baking bread. Since then, this surname-turned-first name has risen to great heights in both popularity and character. Your little muffin is sure to bake up a storm with a name like this! Baby Becker can also look up to the likes of Wimbledon star Boris Becker or watch a few seasons of Becker on TV when they are old enough!
