Origin: British

Meaning: A fuller of cloth

Once a surname name of Old English origins for fullers of cloth, Fuller shines as a personal name for boys you don’t hear very often. Fulling cloth involves the cleansing and shrinking of material—mostly wool—in the process of crafting fabric for clothes. This step was also called walking and tucking, inspiring the creation of the surnames Walker and Tucker in different parts of England. A name rich in industrious ingenuity and centuries of honorable hard work, who knows the remarkable successes baby will achieve with a name like Fuller?
