The topynym, recorded in the Domesday Book as Pochehille, is either from the Old English pohha "pouch" and hyll "hill", meaning "hill by a pouch or hollow", or from a man named Pohha.The historical map of Poughill (in 1945) shows a number of contour lines where land reaches 600 feet (180 m) above sea level.
