Paschale is Latin in Origin.

Paschale stems from Late Latin Paschalis, “pertaining to the Pasch,” with Pasch/Pascha denoting both Passover and, in Christian usage, Easter. The chain traces to Greek Pascha and ultimately to Hebrew Pesach, “to pass over.” As a given name it conveys “born at Easter,” “Easter-tide,” or more broadly “of the Passover,” tying it to springtime renewal and deliverance.

The spelling with -ch- reflects the ecclesiastical Latin form, while the final -e evokes medieval record-keeping and sits between English Paschal and French/Italian Pascale. Usage appears in medieval and early modern Europe and is supported by saints and popes named Paschal, though Paschale itself remains rare. Cognates and variants include Pascal, Pascale, Paschal, Paschalis, Paschael, Pasquale, Pasqual, Pascual, Pascoal, Pascoe, and Pasco. Typically masculine but workable as unisex, it offers compact nicknames such as Pas or Cal.
