Pascaline is French in Origin.

Pascaline is the French feminine form of Pascal, built on the -ine suffix. It descends from Latin Paschalis, via Late Latin and Greek Pascha, ultimately from Hebrew/Aramaic Pesach (“Passover”). The core meaning is “relating to Easter/Passover,” often interpreted as “Easter child” or “born at Easter.” The name appears in medieval and early modern French records, tied to Christian feast-day naming, and saw modest revival in the 19th–20th centuries. Today it occurs in France and francophone regions, including Belgium, Québec, and parts of West and Central Africa.

Variants and cognates include French Pascale (feminine) and Pascal (masculine); Italian Pasqualina (also spelled Pascalina), Spanish Pascuala and Pascualina, and Portuguese Pascoalina. Related English and ecclesiastical forms are Paschal and Paschalis. Diminutives may include Lina and Paska. Though sharing the spelling, Blaise Pascal’s 17th‑century calculating machine called the “Pascaline” is unrelated to the given name’s usage.
