Name Meaning

English: usually a variant of Palin .

English: occasionally perhaps a habitational name from Poling (Sussex). The placename probably derives from Old English pāl ‘stake, pole’ or a personal name derived from this word + the groupname suffix -ingas (genitive -inga). However, it is uncertain that this surname has survived.

Dutch: metonymic occupational name for a seller or catcher of eels, from Middle Dutch paeldinc, modern Dutch paling ‘eel’. Compare Paulding and Pawling .
