Meaning of Walker

Walker began as an English-Scottish surname for the craftsman who quite literally walked on wool to make it soft, yet today it strides far beyond the mill, evoking wide skies, dusty boots, and a hint of Walker, Texas Ranger swagger. In Spanish-speaking hearts, the whisper of “caminar” slips in, como si el pequeño ya llevara ritmo en los pies. Parents clearly feel the motion—this name has jogged from the 300s to a lively No. 81 in the U.S. charts, all in little more than a decade. Warm, rugged, and always en camino, Walker promises a life of forward steps and open-road adventures for any niño who wears it.
