MEANING & HISTORY
What does Pons mean?
Pons is a documented French continuation of Pontius. The older Roman family name has competing explanations, including a likely Oscan connection with fifth and an alternative connection with Pontus.
Translating Pons as bridge merely because it matches a Latin noun would bypass that name history.
