Pascoe is Breton, Cornish in Origin.
Pascoe is the Cornish form of a medieval baptismal name from Latin Paschalis, “of Easter/Passover,” ultimately from Greek Pascha and Hebrew/Aramaic Pesach. In Cornwall it developed as both a given name and a surname, typically bestowed on boys born around Easter or to honor the feast. The standard Cornish spelling includes the -oe ending, reflecting local orthography; pronunciation is roughly PAS-koh.
Attested in medieval Cornwall and the wider West Country, Pascoe persisted through the Reformation and became a durable surname, while remaining an occasional given name - famously borne by industrialist and MP Pascoe Grenfell. Variants include Pasco (Cornish/Breton), Pascow/Pascowe, and Pask; cognates are Pascal/Paschal (French/English), Pasqual (Catalan/Spanish), Pasquale (Italian), and Pascoal (Portuguese), with feminine forms such as Pascale and Pasqualina. The name conveys themes of renewal, liberation, and celebration.
