What is the meaning of the name Pascala ?

The baby name Pascala is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced pas-KAH-lah (IPA: /pæsˈkɑːlə/).

Pascala is Italian, Spanish in Origin.

Pascala is the feminine counterpart to Pascal, ultimately from Late Latin Paschalis “paschal,” via Greek Pascha and Hebrew/Aramaic Pesach “Passover.” In Christian usage Pascha came to denote Easter, so the name signifies “of Easter/Passover” or “born at Easter.” It carries associations of renewal, liberation, and celebration tied to the spring festival across Jewish and Christian traditions.

The form Pascala is rare, fashioned with a Romance-style feminine -a and seen sporadically in modern records, while its cognates have been far more common. Related variants include French Pascale (widely used in mid-20th‑century France), Spanish Pascuala, Italian Pasqualina and Pascalina, Dutch/English Pascalle, and the masculine Pascal/Pasquale/Pascual. Medieval Europe favored the Pascal/Pasqual family for children born during Eastertide; contemporary bearers tend to choose it for its distinctive, cross‑cultural resonance. Alternative spellings such as Paschala appear in Latinized or ecclesiastical contexts, but Pascala remains an elegant, uncommon choice.
