Pascal (name)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pascal is a masculine given name derived from the Latin paschalis, which means "relating to Easter" from Latin Pascha "Easter" in turn from the Hebrew pesach, which means to be born on, or to be associated with, Passover day. As Passover, the Hebrew holiday, coincides closely with the later Christian holiday of Easter, the same Latin word is used for both[1]. The names Paschal, Pasqual, Pasquale, Pascali, Pascha, Pace, Pascoe and Pasco are all variations of Pascal. The feminine form is Pascale or Pascalle.
