Many thanks for the information although it's not a particularly desirable meaning to have as one's name is it? LOL That is, of course, if the connection between Pull and Puhl is correct.

It turns out they are actually listed together as variants:
POUHL
POUL; PUHL; PFULL; PUL; BUL; PULL; POL;
wohnhaft 'am Pfuhl' = sumpfige Mulde; Pfütze
