Pasqual

Pasqual is the Catalan equivalent of the Spanish given name Pascual, and a Venetian variant of Italian given name Pasquale.

Pasqual is also a surname found in Spain (especially among the inhabitants of Catalan-speaking areas, including Andorrans, Valencians, Balearics) and in Italy (especially in Veneto, including Lombardy and Piedmont).

Pasqual, like Pasquale (Italian), Pascal (French), Pascoal (Portuguese) and Pascual (Spanish), derives from the Late Latin paschalis or pashalis, from Latin pascha, Greek Πάσχα, Aramaic pasḥā, in turn from the Hebrew pesach, which means "to be born on, or to be associated with, Passover day".

The feminine form, rather rare, is Pasquala, Pasqualina, Pascale, Pascalle or Pascalina.

As a given name and surname in Spanish-speaking countries Pasqual is often spelled Pascual.
