History & Origin

Pasqual is a Spanish and Catalan form of Pascal, from Latin paschalis, 'of Easter', ultimately from Hebrew Pesach, 'Passover'. Traditionally bestowed on children born around Eastertide, it reached American records mainly through Spanish-speaking and Catalan-heritage families.

In the United States it stayed a heritage name, appearing at a few dozen boys a year with a faint peak around 1922 and scattered use for decades. Pasqual reads as a traditional Latino name and remains more common in Spain, Latin America and Catalonia than in the United States.
