Watch : Family Secret Service Code Names Revealed for the Trumps, Bidens, Obamas and More

All eyes are always on the First Family.

So, needless to say, safety is of the utmost importance, and it's up to the U.S. Secret Service to make sure the president, first lady and their kids get from here to there and back again without incident. 

For nearly 80 years, U.S. presidents and their families have been given nicknames by the agency, monikers that theoretically embody their personalities. While the Secret Service first began using codes in 1945 for security reasons when electronic communication couldn’t be encrypted, they're still used today for clarity. 

“Over time, the protectees have almost taken on the persona of the call sign that they had selected,” former Secret Service special agent Jonathan Wackrow told CNN in 2020. “With former President Barack Obama, ‘Renegade’ is a great example: How he went against the establishment in some of the things that he had done, and like Barbara Bush, whose call sign was ‘Tranquility,’ embodied the tranquility and peacefulness in a time of war.”

This year the agency theoretically doesn't have to come up with new names, President-elect Donald Trump already having a moniker from his first administration ahead of his swearing-in on Jan. 20 as the 47th president of the United States—four years after he lost his 2020 re-election bid to now-outgoing President Joe Biden.

The First Families stick to the same letter throughout their brood, too.

For instance, Biden and First Lady Jill Biden go by Celtic and Capri, a tribute to his Irish heritage. Meanwhile, Trump picked Mogul, an homage to his business background, former and incoming First Lady Melania Trump was dubbed Muse and his son Donald Trump Jr. was Mountaineer.

Former president Ronald Reagan’s name, Rawhide, was chosen by a U.S. Army master sergeant, according to Rawhide Down: The Near Assassination of Ronald Reagan. “He thought Rawhide was suitable because the former actor had appeared in several westerns and was known to be a rancher,” author Del Quentin Wilber wrote. “Reagan adored the moniker.” 

Now, keep reading to see more interesting—and surprising—Secret Service code names for First Families of the United States.
