• Bolle

From Middle Low German bolle, from Old Saxon bollo, from Proto-Germanic *bullô, *bullǭ. More at bowl.

Boll m (plural Bollen)

1. bun; roll
2. (botany) bulb

From Middle High German bolle, from Old High German bolla, from Proto-Germanic *bullǭ.

The sense “bowl” is inherited in many dialects of Central Franconian and even further east in Hessian Rhine Franconian. Therefore there is no reason to consider it a borrowing from French bol, which is itself a rather late borrowing from English.
