Pascoal Origin and Meaning

The name Pascoal is a boy's name of Portuguese origin.

Pascoal is a masculine name of Portuguese and Galician origin, derived from the Latin "Paschalis" meaning "relating to Easter" or "born at Passover." It's the Portuguese equivalent of Pascal or Pascual. The name carries deep Christian significance through its connection to the Easter celebration and resurrection themes. Pascoal has been used consistently in Portuguese-speaking countries like Portugal and Brazil, though it's not among the most common names. The name combines religious heritage with a melodic quality characteristic of Portuguese naming patterns. Pascoal's rhythmic three-syllable structure gives it a warm, flowing sound. The name might appeal particularly to families with Portuguese or Brazilian heritage or those seeking a distinctive name with clear religious connections that still sounds approachable and warm in everyday use.
