The English surname Poole, also found in Ireland, is a topographic name for someone who lived near a pool or pond from the Middle English term pole (Old English pol), or an habitational name from any of the places named with this word, as for example Poole in Dorset, South Pool in Devon, and Poole Keynes in Gloucestershire. The name Poole is mainly found in southern England and the earliest record of the name is Mauritius de la Pole, which was dated 1176, in the "Pipe Rolls of Devonshire." Additional early references include Roger de Pole in the Pipe Rolls for the county of Wiltshire in 1191, Robert Poole, of Poole, Chester, in 1280, and John Pool in the rolls known as the Feet of Fines for the county of Essex in 1324.
