The surname Pollard has its origins in England and Ireland. In England, the name is derived from the Old English word "pol" or "polle," meaning "a head" or "top of a hill," and the suffix "-ard," which is used to indicate someone who lived near or worked at a particular place. Thus, the name may have referred to someone who lived near a hilltop or worked as a caretaker or guardian of a hill.
The Pollard surname also has Irish roots. In Ireland, the name is believed to have originated from the Gaelic surname "Ó Polláird," which means "descendant of Pollard." The name may have been anglicized upon migration to England or other English-speaking countries, resulting in variations such as Pollard or Power.
Many Irish surnames, including Pollard, have complex histories due to the influence of British colonization and migration. During the 17th and 18th centuries, English settlers arrived in Ireland, leading to intermarriage between English and Irish individuals. This resulted in the adoption of English surnames by some Irish families, including the Pollards. As a result, the surname Pollard can be found in both England and Ireland, with individuals of Irish descent carrying the name today.
