Pohl (family name)
The origin of the family name Pohl can be derived from several sources:
- From the Low German name of Wohnstätten Puhl or English pool or High German Pfuhl. So those who lived in such dwellings (wells filled with water).
- who traded with Poland or came from there.
- Coming from a community called Pohl.
- Variant of the first name Paul.
- From the Slavic word "polje" for field, field. The family name “Pohle” is particularly common in Central Germany, which was colonized by Germans during the eastern colonization, where they mingled with the Sorbian-Slavic tribes.
