Pascoal is a masculine given name and a surname in Portuguese language. It is the Portuguese form of the name Pascal (French, English), Pascual (Spanish), Pasquale (Italian), Pasqual (Catalan, Venetian).[1]
Pascoal 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. Notable people with the name include:
