That's a common misconception, especially among those of us who have spent
time working with center fed dipoles. 

The "poles" refer to the voltage nodes, not the number of elements. A
dipole, having a voltage node at each end, is a di(two)pole radiator, while
a quarter wave antenna, having only one voltage node is a mono(single)pole.

A dipole has two elements. An end-fed half-wave is a monopole. One element.

A half-wave antenna is still a half-wave, whether it is center fed (Hertz)
or end fed (Marconi).
