History & Origin

Pasqualina is the Italian feminine of Pasquale, from the Latin paschalis, 'of Easter'. Devout Italian families gave it to daughters born near the Easter feast, tying the child to the season of her birth.

In the American records it belongs to the early immigrant cohort, peaking around 1919 and fading as Italian-American families anglicized their names. It reads as a heritage name of the great wave of Italian immigration.

Did you know? Pasqualina is a calendar name in the truest sense: like Pasquale for boys, it honored a birth around Easter, the holiest feast of the Italian Catholic year.
