Origin:French
Meaning:Easter; Passover
Give a nod to the time of year of your little one’s birth with this French name. Pascal, a boy's name, means “Easter” or “Passover,” so it is perfect for any springtime baby. It comes from the Latin Paschalis, which was the word for the Hebrew Passover. As the time of year coincides with the Christian Easter celebrations, Paschalis was adopted for both events, making Pascal a thoughtful way to incorporate elements of your faith and heritage into your little one’s identity. Pascal has only been used as a first name in English-speaking countries since the 1960s, so baby probably won't meet too many people with the same name as them.
