'''Pasquale''' is a masculine [[Italian language|Italian]] [[given name]] and a [[surname]] found all over [[Italy]].  It is a cognate of the [[French language|French]] name [[Pascal (name)|Pascal]], the [[Spanish language|Spanish]] [[Pascual (disambiguation)|Pascual]], the [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] [[Pascoal (disambiguation)|Pascoal]] and the [[Catalan language|Catalan]] [[Pasqual (disambiguation)|Pasqual]]. Pasquale derives from the [[Latin language|Latin]] ''paschalis'' or ''pashalis'',  which means "relating to [[Easter]]", from Latin ''pascha'' ("[[Easter]]"), [[Greek language|Greek]] ''Πάσχα'', [[Aramaic language|Aramaic]] ''pasḥā'', in turn from the [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] ''[[pesach|פֶּסַח]]'', which means "to be born on, or to be associated with, [[Passover]] day". Since the Hebrew holiday Passover coincides closely with the later Christian holiday of Easter, the Latin word came to be used for both occasions.
