Origin and meaning of Pola
Pola is a name of many faces: a short form of Apollonia (linked to the god Apollo) or of Paulina, from the Latin paulus, 'small, humble,' while it also echoes the Polish pole, 'field.' Made famous by the actress Pola Negri, a silent-film diva of Polish origin, it is especially loved in Poland. Short, rhythmic and a little vintage, it has an old-world charm that has come sharply back into fashion.
