None of the citations are definitely Anglo-Norman and these glosses may be considered Middle English.

The OED (Third Edition, 2006) confirms the uncertain origin of the word, but suggest a possible association with poppy n., with an -le suffix, through association with cockle n.1 (with both words referring to plants with similar red flowers).
