Polin

:"This is an article about a name. For a person, see Raymond Polin."Polin is the name for Poland in Yiddish and in Hebrew and a place which meant in Hebrew "Here shalt thou lodge" or "Place of safe refuge" in the exile from the Land of Israel.

In 1492, Jews were expelled from Spain, Portugal and Germany. According to one legend, as they journeyed eastward in search of a new home, when they reached areas of Poland they read its name as "Poh lin" taking it as a positive sign and settled in the land they called "Polin" in Poland.

In later centuries more than 50% of the Jewish world population lived in Poland.

Polin Irish-England Surname

McPoland is a surname from south-east Ulster, Particularly County Down in the area of the Mourne Mountains. Its origin is Gaelic Mac Poilin (son of Paulin or descendent of little Paul, a rare Ulster surname). The oldest record of the name was a Donal MacPolin in Armagh in 1664. In its English form (in Ireland) it has been spelled variously, (often without the Mc): (Mc)Poland, (Mc)Pollin, (Mc)Polin, (Mc)Polland. The most unusual spelling, Pulleine, was used in the 18th century. There are other forms, Polan, Pollen, Pullen, Pullin, which may come from Gaelic, but may also be of English origin. Mac po~ili~n, MacPolin, MacPoland, Poland, Po~rli'n are other spellings. Paulin is personal name in Domesday Book.
