Poulpe and pieuvre are French equivalents of the English word "octopus".

Specifically, the feminine pieuvre and the masculine poulpe are nouns in their singular forms. Both mean "octopus" although it is possible that some speakers consider pieuvre a more literary or more northern term and poulpe a less literary and more southerly word. The pronunciations will be "pyuhv" and "poolp" in French.
