Polle is Dutch in Origin.
Polle is a Dutch, Frisian, and Danish/Low German diminutive formed on the base Pol/Paul/Poul, ultimately from Latin Paulus “small, humble.” As a hypocoristic with the -e ending common in North Sea languages, it functions chiefly as a familiar nickname, though it also appears as a standalone given name in 19th–20th‑century records from the Netherlands, Flanders, and Denmark. Usage today remains rare but friendly in tone, evoking down‑to‑earth warmth and regional character.
Closest equivalents and variants include Paul, Paulus, Pol (Catalan/Occitan and Flemish), Poul (Danish), Pål (Norwegian/Swedish), Pól (Irish), Paol (Breton), Paolo, Paulo, Pablo, Pavel, Paweł, Pál, and Paavo; feminine counterparts are Paula, Paule, and Pauline. In some Germanic areas Polle may also overlap with pet forms of Apollonia/Apolline, though this is secondary. The core meaning inherited through Paul is “little; humble,” making Polle a compact, approachable choice with deep pan‑European roots.
