: „« I have received an interesting email from Jan Popiel of New York who wrote:- King Popiel ruled Poland until the 9th century and then he disappeared. It is possible that his descendants moved to the West and together with William the Conqueror they arrived in the British Isles. It is also possible that you are the descendant of one of them.
: Other theories from other people with regard to the surname origin are that surname Pople is derived from the poplar tree and that the Poples were hounded out of France and Belgium.
: Many Poples seem to have originated in parishes on the Somerset levels of England, while clusters moved to Dorset, Hampshire, London, Lincolnshire and East Anglia.
: If anybody has any complete proof of the Pople surname origin I would be most interested.
