Meaning and history
Pascal comes from the Late Latin name Paschalis, meaning “relating to Easter,” ultimately from Latin Pascha “Easter,” which was borrowed from Hebrew פֶּסַח (pesaḥ), meaning “Passover.” Passover is the ancient Hebrew holiday celebrating liberation from Egypt, and because it coincided closely with the later Christian holiday of Easter, the same Latin word was used for both. Pascal can also be a surname, as in Blaise Pascal (1623–1662), the French philosopher, mathematician, and inventor.
