Poll Origin and Meaning

The name Poll is a boy's name.

Poll is a masculine name with multiple potential origins. It could be a variant of Paul, derived from the Latin name Paulus meaning 'small' or 'humble.' In some regions, it may function as a shortened form of Apollonius, which refers to the Greek god Apollo. Additionally, Poll might serve as a nickname for names beginning with 'Pol' such as Polydore or Polycarp. The name is relatively uncommon in modern usage, particularly as a formal given name rather than a nickname. While Poll has historical precedence, it remains rare in contemporary naming trends, giving it a distinctive quality for parents seeking an uncommon name with classical connections.
