Last name origin & meaning:
Italian: from the personal name Pasquale (Latin
Paschalis, from pascha ‘Easter’, via Greek and Aramaic
from Hebrew pesach ‘Passover’). This was popular as a given
name throughout Christian Europe in the Middle Ages, mainly in honor
of the festival of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection, but also in
honor of a 9th-century pope and saint who bore the name.
