Pascal (p(a)-scal, pas-cal) is a masculine Francophone 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". Since the Hebrew holiday Passover coincides closely with the later Christian holiday of Easter, the same Latin word is used for both [ [http://www.behindthename.com/php/view.php?name=pascal Behind the Name: Meaning, Origin and History of the Name Pascal ] ] . The names Paschal, Pasqual, Pasquale, Pascali, Pascha, Pascual, Pace, Pascoe and Pasco are all variations of "Pascal". The feminine form is "Pascale" or "Pascalle" or "Pascalina". Pascal is also common as a surname. [cite web |url=http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Pascal |title=Pascal - Name Meaning and Origin |publisher=thinkbabynames.com |accessdate=2007-12-20]
