Tucker was born Sofiya "Sonya" Kalish (Ukrainian: Соня Калиш; Russian, Софья «Соня» Калиш; Yiddish: סאָפיאַ קאַליש) in 1886 to a Jewish family in Tulchyn, Russian Empire, now Vinnytsia Oblast, Ukraine. (Sonya is a pet name for Sofiya in both Russian and Ukrainian as well as for Sofya, the Yiddish form of the name Sophia.) They arrived in Boston on September 26, 1887. The family adopted the surname Abuza before immigrating, her father fearing repercussions for having deserted from the Imperial Russian Army. The family lived in Boston's North End for eight years, then settled in Hartford, Connecticut, and opened a restaurant.The most expensive item with a signature of Sophie Tucker (Helen Chandler,DRACULA 1931/Sophie Tucker,original signed autograph vintage page) was sold in May 2019 for £100.00 while the cheapest item (Vintage Hand-Signed Autograph Letter - US Singer - Red Hot Mama - Sophie Tucker) found a new owner for £0.99 in June 2017.
