Well, Jews probably heard it sometime along the way, chuckled and passed it on. I have checks some of my texts, and I don't see some of the early commentators mentioning it, but I do recall are more than one Yeshivah where it was mentioned with a chuckle. If I can find a Rabbinical source that repeats it, I'll post it. I did a scan for פול (a Hebrew form pronounced "pole"), unfortunately, that is also the word for a kind of a bean, so all I got were cooking references for holidays!
Although there are also a king of that same name of Ashur (assyria) mentioned a lot as well. No Notzri, though.
