History & Origin

Pascuala reached the United States mainly through Spanish-speaking families, with a small high around 1927. Rooted in the Latin word for the Easter season, it carries a clear devotional meaning and long history in Spain and Latin America, even as its American numbers stayed slight.

It was never common in the United States, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, and reads as a heritage name rather than a mainstream pick. A girl named Pascuala then would be past a hundred today. It remains recognizably Spanish and tied to the Easter season.

Did you know? Names in the Pascual family were traditionally given to children born around Easter, a custom that carried Pascuala into Spanish-speaking communities in the American Southwest.
