) Pascual has the variant Pasqual. Pascual, like Pasquale/Pasqual/Pascal, derives from the Latin ''paschalis'' or ''pashalis'', which means "relating to Easter", from Latin ''pascha'' (" Easter"), Greek Πάσχα, Aramaic ''pasḥā'', in turn from the Hebrew '' pesach'', 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. In the Katalani Hebrew tradition the name is given to the first born male child. Pascual may refer to:
