'''Pascual''' is a [Spanish](/source/Spanish_language) [given name](/source/given_name) and [surname](/source/surname), cognate of [Italian](/source/Italian_language) name [Pasquale](/source/Pasquale_(disambiguation)), [Portuguese](/source/Portuguese_language) name [Pascoal](/source/Pascoal) and [French](/source/French_language) name [Pascal](/source/Pascal_(name)). In [Catalan-speaking areas](/source/Catalan_language) (including [Andorra](/source/Andorra), [Valencia](/source/Valencian_Community), and [Balearic islands](/source/Balearic_islands)) Pascual has the variant [Pasqual](/source/Pasqual_(disambiguation)).

Pascual, like Pasquale/Pasqual/Pascal, derives from the [Latin](/source/Latin_language) ''paschalis'' or ''pashalis'', which means "relating to [Easter](/source/Easter)", from Latin ''pascha'' ("[Easter](/source/Easter)"), [Greek](/source/Greek_language) Πάσχα, [Aramaic](/source/Aramaic_language) ''pasḥā'', in turn from the [Hebrew](/source/Hebrew_language) ''[pesach](/source/pesach)'', which means "to be born on, or to be associated with, [Passover](/source/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. In the [Katalani](/source/Katalani) [Hebrew](/source/Hebrew) tradition the name is given to the first born male child.
