Originally, the poles of a magnet were called the 'North-seeking pole' and the 'South-seeking pole', because they pointed towards the North (actually Magnetic North) and South respectively. Over time, we have dropped the 'seeking' part of the names and they are now known, simply, as the 'north pole' and the 'south pole'
These terms were then used as the names of the magnetic polarities of a magnet. Because 'unlike poles attract', the location we call "Magnetic North" has a south magnetic polarity.

Show bar magnet horse shoe magnet dumb bell magnet etc.?
I'm unable to display images, but I can describe them for you. A bar magnet is a straight magnet with north and south poles at opposite ends. A horseshoe magnet is shaped like a horseshoe, with both poles located at the ends of the curved section. A dumbbell magnet consists of two bar magnets joined at the center. Each magnet has its north pole connected to the south pole of the other magnet, creating a closed loop magnetic field.
If you broke a magnet in two would you have isolated north and south poles?
No, breaking a magnet in two does not isolate the north and south poles. Each resulting piece would still have its own north and south poles. A magnet will always have both north and south poles regardless of its size or shape.

What is the proper name for the ends of magnets?
The ends of a bar magnet are generally called the north and south poles. However they are more accurately known as the North Attracting pole and the South Attracting pole as the respective ends of the magnet are drawn to the Earths north and south poles.
