Origin: Scandinavian

Meaning: Small, humble, modest

Sharing the same Latin roots as Paul, Poul is a masculine name favored across Scandinavian countries—and who can resist its minimalistic charm? Popular in Christian communities, likely for its biblical connection, Poul holds true to its appeal with the meanings “small,” “humble,” and “modest.” Poul may remind baby that by staying true to themselves and expressing gratitude for even the smallest blessings, everything they wish for will fall into place.
