Name Meaning
English (Devon): shortened form of Pollock , with unrounding of the vowel to give Palk. Compare Polk and also Pulford . Derivation from a shortened form of the Middle English personal names Palcok and Palkin (pet forms of Paul) is formally possible, but no evidence has been found to substantiate this.
