Etymology
From de gmh povel, gmh bovel (“folk, people”, ca. 1200). Generally derived from de fro pueble, fro pueple. However, since Middle High German consistently shows -v-, borrowing from Italian Gallo-Romance povolo should also be considered. In any case from de la populus. The form with -b- shows a later, chiefly East Central German development and was spread by Martin Luther Luther’s Bible. The umlaut is attested since the 15th century (perhaps after de frm peuple).
