    My book suggests that it is from Middle English, meaning someone with a cropped head (very short hair)

    I have Pollards in my Family Tree (Bishops Nympton, North Devon) back in the late 1600's.

    Out of interest, you can Google: Sir Lewis Pollard, Kings Nympton; no proven relationship to me but his history goes way back.

    I would think no obvious Jewish connection.
