Sokol is a Jewish surname, though today many non-Jews (i.e., David Sokol) bear it, as a result of conversion or intermarriage, etc.

It means Falcon in most eastern European languages and is akin to Vogel in German.

The name takes many forms. As many Sokols left their native lands, the name took on various spellings -- i.e., Socol (as in Howard Socol, former Barney's CEO) or Sokal (as in Robert Reuben Sokal, the Austian academic). Both are/were Jewish.

In Israel, there is a prominent street named Sokolov in Tel Aviv. Sokol, Socol, Sokal and Sokolov (et al) are equivalent in meaning and origin.
