It is from the French pomarin, a shortening of the scientific Latin pomatorhinus, ultimately from Greek, meaning "having a covered nose". The name is unrelated to the region of Pomerania.
Whatever, there were great vies of one on todays RSPB cruise. It was was one of those days when expectations were low, bit of fog, some sun, no wind.... however expectationas can go either way - judge for yourself!!
