Pascal (p(a)-scal, pas-cal) is a common masculine Francophone given name, cognate of Italian name Pasquale, Spanish name Pascual, Catalan name Pasqual. Pascal is common in French-speaking countries, Germany and Netherlands. The correct feminine form is Pascale, Pascalle or Pascalina. Pascal is also common as a surname in France, and in Italy (in Piedmont, Aosta Valley and, as De Pascal, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia).

Pascal derives from the Latin paschalis or pashalis, which means "relating to Easter", from Latin pascha ("Passover", i.e. the Easter Passover"), Greek Πάσχα, Aramaic pasḥā, in turn from the Hebrew pesach, which means "to be born on, or to be associated with, Passover day". Since the Hebrew holiday Passover coincides closely with the later Christian holiday of Easter, the Latin word came to be used for both occasions.

The names Paschal, Pasqual, Pasquale, Pascoale, Pascoal, Pascale, Pascha, Paschalis, Pascual, Pascoe and Pasco are all variations of Pascal.

People with the name Pascal include:


French: from Late Latin Paschālis ‘relating to Easter’ (Latin Pascha, from Hebrew pesach Passover). This was taken up by the early Christians as a personal name, partly in honour of the great Christian festival, but mainly as a name for sons born at this time of the year. It was borne by two medieval popes, neither of whom achieved anything particularly notable. Its popularity may have been influenced by the fame of the French philosopher Blaise Pascal (1623–62), whose Pensées (‘Thoughts’) were published posthumously in 1670. The name is now occasionally used in the English-speaking world, mainly by Roman Catholics.
Variant: Paschal.
Cognates: Italian: Pasquale. Spanish: Pascual. Portuguese: Pascoal.
