Meaning and background

The story behind Hiker

Hiker is an ordinary English noun for someone who goes hiking, especially on walks taken for pleasure or exercise. It is a transparent activity-based word name rather than a historical Germanic or Celtic personal name. The two syllables are easy to say and the outdoor association follows directly from the dictionary definition. That does not allow an editor to assume that a dog with this name enjoys walking or has particular stamina.

Origin
English agent noun from the verb hike, used as an activity word-name. Source
Meaning
A person who hikes, especially for leisure or exercise. Source
