Occupational name for a fuller of cloth
Derived from the Old English 'wealcan', this was an occupational surname for a fuller. Fullers would tread on damp cloth to thicken and cleanse it, a process known as walking. It has transitioned from a common surname to a popular, rugged first name in the United States.
