Puck

The name Puck is gender-neutral. The meaning of Puck is ‘sprite’ or ‘goblin’. The origin of this name is much debatable. However, the most prominent theory asserts that the name came from the Old English term ‘puca’, which is also a derivative of the Irish word ‘púca’. Irish mythology shows the púca to be a creature who can take any physical form but mostly appears as a dog or a black goat. A similar creature can be found in other Germanic and Celtic cultures, such as Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Wales, and Iceland. In his celebrated work ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, William Shakespeare drew a sprite character named Puck. There are also two more theories that have tried to discover the origin of this name. The first one claims that Puck is of German origin and a diminutive of the name ‘Burkhart’. On the other hand, the second one states that it is the Americanized or Germanized version of the Polish-Slovak name ‘Puk’.
