Jean-Pascal is French in Origin.

Jean-Pascal is a French compound given name combining Jean (French form of John, from Hebrew Yohanan "Yahweh is gracious") and Pascal (from Latin Paschalis, "relating to Passover/Easter"). The blend conveys a devotional sense of grace and the Easter/Passover season, and reflects the long Francophone tradition of double names beginning with Jean. It is documented since the 19th century and rose with mid-20th-century hyphenated fashions, remaining familiar in France, Québec, Belgium, Switzerland, and Francophone Africa.

Variants include Jean Pascal (without hyphen), J.-Pascal, and regional forms such as Yann-Paskal (Breton) and Joan-Pascal (Occitan). Feminine counterparts are Jeanne-Pascale and, regionally, Anne-Pascale. Diminutives and everyday short forms include JP/J.-P., Jean-Pas, and Pascal. Related equivalents in other languages are Juan Pascual (Spanish) and Gian Pasquale or Gianpasquale (Italian). Notable bearers include singer-actor Jean-Pascal Lacoste and footballer Jean-Pascal Mignot.
