The German surname Poles is of occupational origin, based on the trade or profession of the original bearer. In this instance, the name can be traced to the Old Germanic word 'pol', meaning "a small lake on a tract of land," suggesting that the name would be given to one who farmed such land. The surname may also have originated in a nickname. In this case, it would be a diminutive of the Old German word "bohl" meaning "friend." The suffix 'mann' is very common in surnames of Germanic origin, and was usually used to denote ownership.
