"Maker of pointed instruments" is the meaning of the English name "Poinsett".

Specifically, the name is a proper noun. It represents an alternate spelling to the original form, poinset. It traces its origins back to the Old French poinson for "pointed instrument".

The pronunciation will be "pwa-set" in terms of the name and "pwa-so" in terms of the instrument.
