Pollard Family History
Pollard Name Meaning
nickname for a person with a large or unusually shaped
head, from Middle English poll ‘head’ (Middle Low German
polle ‘(top of the) head’) + the pejorative suffix
-ard. The term pollard in the sense denoting an animal
that has had its horns lopped is not recorded before the 16th century,
and as applied to a tree the word is not recorded until the 17th
century; so both these senses are almost certainly too late to have
contributed to the surname.pejorative derivative of the personal
name Paul. The surname has been established in Ireland since
the 14th century.
