Pouncey Name Meaning
English (Yorkshire): nickname from Old French poucin Anglo-Norman French p(o)ucin pocin pulcin ‘chicken’ perhaps for a cowardly person. A branch of this family (or a different one with the same name) in medieval Dorset seems to be responsible for the survival of Pouncey in post-medieval England.
