Poul

Poul is the Danish form of Paul, derived from the Latin name Paulus, which comes from a Roman family name meaning small or humble. The name gained widespread use across Europe through Saint Paul the Apostle, whose missionary journeys and epistles were foundational to early Christianity. Poul is the standard Danish rendering of this name, with closely related forms including Paul in English and German, Pavel in Slavic languages, and Paolo in Italian.
