EnglandThe name Paulen reached English shores for the first time with the ancestors of the Paulen family as they migrated following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name Paulen is based on the Norman-Christian given name Paulinus, which belonged to an early settler Anglo-Norman settler.
The surname Paulen was first found in Staffordshire from very ancient times, and Lincolnshire where they were Lords of the Manor of Odcombe.

The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries. For that reason, spelling variations are common among many Anglo-Norman names. The shape of the English language was frequently changed with the introduction of elements of Norman French, Latin, and other European languages; even the spelling of literate people's names were subsequently modified. Paulen has been recorded under many different variations, including Paulin, Paulyn, Pollen, Pollyn, Pollin, Polyn and many more.
