From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The surname Pole usually derives from "Pool", a person associated with a body of water.
The Welsh de la Pole s descended from
Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn take their name from the previous association with the place
Welshpool . The link between the knightly de la Poles of Wales (pre-1300), and
William de la Pole (Chief Baron of the Exchequer) , of Hull and his descendants, is uncertain and unproven. It is presented as fact in some genealogies (See
Parentage of William de la Pole (d.1366)) . Additionally some medieval contemporaries may have been unrelated to either family.
This surname is popular in India as well.
