Meaning: Someone or something resilient

The name Tuff is derived from the word "Tuff, " which refers to a type of rock made of compacted volcanic ash. It also means someone or something resilient, or durable. The name has been used as an invented name, often a corruption of "tough, " indicating strength and resilience. Tuff has not been given to approximately 50 baby boys each year; its usage is significantly lower, with only 6 records in 2021. The name's popularity is largely driven by its strong and resilient connotations, making it appealing to parents seeking a name that reflects these qualities. Tuff is a type of sedimentary rock formed from volcanic ash and debris, known for its lightweight and porous nature, but it does not have a widely recognized symbolism of strength and durability. It is a unique and distinctive name that stands out, reflecting the qualities of resilience and toughness. This makes it a compelling choice for parents looking to give their child a name that reflects these positive attributes.
