In Old English, the word "bucc" referred to a male deer or a he-goat, while in Old Norse, "bokki" meant a male deer or a male goat.
The name Buck was likely used as a nickname for someone who resembled a buck or had characteristics associated with this animal. It is also possible that some individuals took on the name due to their occupation as hunters or keepers of deer.
