Answer 1

in the old days in the shop you would get a poke of salt,paper rolled into a cone and filled with salt. maybe it comes from latin from the romans to carry their salt rations in

Answer 2

it's means exactly the same. there's no difference when translating that word......

Answer 3

It  maybe comes from piccolo meaning little.

also purse as stated before/ a little bag!

this is a free translation site. No italian poke but the site may be useful in the future.

Answer 4

Pron.:

POH-KEH.

From "poco" little or few, same as Castillian Spanish.

"Poche" (pron. hard k) is the female plural of the same.

For example "poche cose da ammirare" few things to admire.

NONONO...I failed to read the added note !!!!

Silly me !

POCHE, pron. POH-SH is French for pocket, or purse...Ahahaha

Fluent in a few languages.

Scusami !!!

Answer 5

It does not look like an Italian word. Either it means poke, as in English, or it is a transliteration of the Italian phrase "por que", meaning "Why"

In brand names, anything is possible.
