The surname "Tupuola" is Samoan (Polynesian). See the reference below taken from the following link:
http://www.everyculture.com/multi/Pa-Sp/Samoan-Americans.html
"...Some chieftains in Samoa also have special titles such as Malietoa, Tamasese, TUPUOLA, or Salamasina. These titles have national significance..." (Scroll about 2/3 page down in link, or search "Tupuola.")
It is not Finnish (in origin, anyway).
*In the Samoan language:
"TUPU" - noun. A king.
"TUPUA" - noun. 1. An image, an idol. 2. A riddle. 3. One of the Kingly line of heirs in Samoa.
"OLA" verb. 1. To live. 2. To be alive.
(Just interesting).

Judging completely on your last question which was similar, might it be.....Finnish? If not, then I'm afraid I don't know.
